Plastics help design non-shatter pint glass to prevent pub attacks
Pint glasses cause terrible injuries – no surprise there! Prototypes of non-shattering pint glasses design has been called revolutionary. Designed to be safer, “Glass Plus” is a pint glass that has a thin layer of transparent coating of bio-resin on the inside. The other design is called “Twin Wall” made by bonding 2 ultra-thin layers of glass together like a laminated car windscreens. The prototypes were produced by Design Bridge in UK.
