Tritan-Plastic Shatterproof Wine Goblets | Red Wine Glass

Tritan drink ware is covered by a guarantee to never break, crack, or craze.

All plastic glassware is BPA-Free and made from Tritan copolyester.

This unbreakable red wine glass is independently lab tested and proven to be commercial dishwasher-safe with NO change in clarity, even after 1,000 wash cycles.

Truly unbreakable plastic glasses are made from one of three different types of plastic – polycarbonate, Tritan, or polypropylene.

Plastic glasses made from other types of plastic, like acrylic or SAN, aren’t unbreakable. They might be labeled break-resistant or shatterproof, but they can break when dropped.

Here is the breakdown of the 3 best types of plastic drinkware

1. Shatterproof Glasses Made from Tritan Plastic

Tritan plastic is fast replacing polycarbonate as the preferred material for unbreakable plastic glasses.

Tritan was developed specifically as a BPA-free alternative to polycarbonate plastic, which contains BPA.

Whether you’re are looking to buy unbreakable plastic glasses that look like glass, wine glasses, or stemware, you can find it in Tritan glassware.

2. Polycarbonate Plastic Glasses

Plastic glasses can be made from a durable polycarbonate plastic.

Like Tritan, plastic glasses made from polycarbonate are unbreakable and deliver glass-like features, and are dishwasher-safe. Polycarbonate is a tried and tested material and plastic glasses made of polycarbonate last for years in both commercial and household use.

Polycarbonate plastic glasses are commonly used in busy restaurants & hotels and for outdoor & poolside service.

3. Unbreakable Polypropylene Drinkware

Polypropylene plastic glasses are more casual than the glass-like varieties crafted from polycarbonate and Tritan.

Polypropylene unbreakable plastic glasses are low-cost and can be solid-coloured or semi-opaque, but generally come in a wide variety of colours.

Important facts about polypropylene plastic glasses

• Polypropylene plastic drink ware have a different feel than glass-like Tritan and polycarbonate drinkware.
• Polypropylene glassware is softer and a little rubbery by comparison — think Tupperware and Rubbermaid plastic storage containers.
• Glasses made from polypropylene plastic are popular for kids’ drinking glasses and casual events.

Other Types of Plastics Used to Make Plastic Drinkware

Acrylic plastic and an acrylic blend called SAN plastic are quite durable and reasonably priced plastic glasses.

However, glasses made from these plastics aren’t quite as tough as those made from polycarbonate, Tritan, and polypropylene.

The major difference is that acrylic and SAN plastic glasses can crack if dropped on tile or other hard surfaces, unlike unbreakable Tritan and polycarbonate plastic glasses.
