PLASTIC BARWARE
Improved working practices for the use of Polycarbonates
will extend the life of the product:
• Polycarbonate drink ware is supplied with the verif ied
CA Mark or Lined and Stamped exactly like Glassware.
•
Polycarbonate Barware is dishwasher safe to a
temperature of 60°C.
• When using glass washers, it has been suggested that the
use of detergent without rinse aid is preferred.
• To maintain the product in its best condition, it is
recommended that a low temperature wash cycle below
60°C for both wash and rinse temperature is used. The
combination of detergents and raised temperatures
can lead to environmental stress cracking in the plastic
surface. If washer temperatures are above this then it is
recommended to hand wash the plastic barware.
• It is important to make sure that the Polycarbonates
are not rubbing together during the rinse cycle in a glass
washer.
• It is safe to use Liquid Renovate. This will enhance the
visual presentation of the product where needed.
• Regular checking of Polycarbonates to assess scratching
is needed so as to of fer the customer a perfect drink.
• It is important that Polycarbonates are not stacked tightly
together as the inside of the product will scratch.
• Polycarbonates are quite often found on the f loor
and on hard f loors they will scratch. Where possible
Polycarbonates should not be left on the f loor.
• Polycarbonate is a tough transparent thermoplastic that
has many applications, which demand high performance
properties.
Polycarbonate drink ware is almost indestructible, hard and
Food pans available in standard Gastronorm sizes
rigid and in many cases virtually identical to glass. It is the
preferred product for Police Forces and Local Licensing
Authorities where drink related violence is an area of concern.
Although the product is virtually unbreakable it is subject
to considerable wear and tear, unlike glass, which would
simply break and then be replaced, regular checking of
polycarbonates to asses scratching is needed as to of fer
the customer a perfect drink.
