After years of
studies and trials,

Bormioli Luigi’ Research & Development Department, in partnership with Pibiplast (Correggio RE, Italy) has recently finalized a pilot project aimed at manufacturing a new product by overmoulding a glass bottle using a ionomer, based on Surlyn® 3D technology.

The result has been achieved using a special glass formulation, Sparkx®, and the DuPont™ Surlyn® resin.
This new product is composed by a Sparkx® glass bottle which is either partially, or completely encased in a DuPont™ Surlyn® layer.

This technology allows the production of bottles of a brand new composite material, Linkx®, registered brand of Bormioli Luigi SpA, allowing new combinations of shapes, colours and optical effects, which enlarge the range of the possible solutions available on the market for cosmetics and perfumery products.
These products, if completely overmolded with the DuPont™ Surlyn® case, can also be considered as safety containers.
