2 For many of us, Duralex is a magical name which tells a story of childhood with the little inlaid numbers found at the bottom of the canteen tumblers we all played with during lunchtime. But it is also much more Duralex owes its birth to the Saint-Gobain group and the industrial patent for moulded, tempered glass, developed in 1939 in the La Chapelle Saint-Mesmin factory. This industrial process gives the tumbler a perfect transparency and lasting clarity, and makes it practically unbreakable. Since its creation, the expertise and know-how of its collaborators have given the brand its international notoriety with its unbreakable tumblers whose pure, simple style is never outdated. Today, the path is clear for new markets and new ambitions. We know that lasting success is the result of innovative products and commercial ambitions. We plan to introduce new products, new colors, new designs and new brand communication, as you can see with this catalog. The Duralex brand has a bright future, and by using its history we will write new pages about cooking and table art throughout the world. Our company has all the means to guarantee its success with the help and confidence of all those who share its values. In half a century, this tumbler has become a legend and a national treasure. The industrial adventure is never linear, as all entrepreneurs know well. The DURALEX adventure is no exception. The perfumer COTY bought the glassmaker in 1930 to produce its bottles, and the industrial caster Saint-Gobain Pont in Mousson bought it in A major technological revolution lead the company to develop tempered glass. Saint-Gobain became a glass specialist, with the creation on June 6, 1945 the DURALEX brand to produce glass objects for culinary use, notably of tempered glass. This moulded, tempered glass which proved to be practically unbreakable would take the form of the emblematic le Gigogne tumbler of DURALEX brand in The history of DURALEX brand was born, and the presence of these tumblers in their daily life would be playfully remembered by generations of school children due to the number of the mould from 1 to 48 engraved on the bottom. A legend was born. Technical Definition The tempering operation consists of a brutal cooling by ventilation of cold air over the two faces of the glass product, which has been brought beforehand to a temperature of 1292 F. This treatment creates in the glass a force which improves most of its physical properties: resistance to mechanical stress (bending, shocks and impacts) and to thermal shocks. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: the product is 2.5 times more resistant than a fired product of equal thickness. THERMAL: tempered glass can resist a thermal shock of 266 F, while classical glass breaks from a thermal shock of about 104 F. Tempered glass conserves the optical and acoustic properties of each basic product. After being tempered, the glass can no longer be recut or reshaped. Slight deformations may be observed after tempering which are inherent in the manufacturing process. 2 3
