  • These technologies make existing melamine and plastic plates and bowls obsolete.
  • It will change the market and lead to increased category sales because it meets consumer’s requirements better Made from DuPont Sorona® – not melamine Sorona® – a new DuPont material that is 35% made from renewable corn waste Super-tough high-glass surface, high density, high weight Beautiful Design The surfaces blend seamlessly from one curve to another.
  • The shapes are open and welcoming.
  • The shapes are beautiful to hold The toughness of the material enables the rims to be fine The outer shapes are slightly different to the inside ones The operating surfaces are flat Practical Shapes The edges of the plates are raised for easy holding and to restrain the contents.
  • Similarly, the bowl is deep to restrain the contents and is tapered for easy holding.
  • The collection stacks securely and efficiently for transport and for storage (often in boats or RV’s).
  • The sizes fit in typical galleys and RVs and are a suitable size for outdoor use.
  • They are suitable for children.
  • The Plates have large effective area.
  • Coloured Integral Non-slip ringpm920-sorona-black-bowl-rd A non-slip ring is moulded on the base using 2-shot injection moulding – it cannot come off.
  • .
  • The non-slip ring acts as a coaster, protecting table surfaces from scratching and insulating from hot contents.
  • When placed on a table, the soft non-slip material deadens the “clank” and enhances the pleasure in use.
  • A great feature for children.
  • The ring is available in Black, Navy Blue (Klein Blue), Vivid Blue, Orange A chemical bond between the 2 materials ensures that it cannot come off and importantly cannot collect debris from washing.
  • In melamine plates and bowls with non-slip rings, the ring is stuck onto the base using a process that is difficult to control for accuracy and for gluing consistency.
  • Rings can come-off and not be in correct position.
  • There is a gap between the plate’s annulus and the ring which is almost impossible to wash properly and is a trap for unsightly and unhealthy debris and mould from washing.
  • Guaranteed Unbreakable Consumers will generally use ceramic plates unless risk of breakage is unacceptable or is a safety issue.
  • This tough material when combined with robust design enables the collection to be guaranteed unbreakable in normal use.
  • It can be thrown on the ground, dropped from a great height and it will bounce.
  • It cannot be broken in the hand.
  • Melamine is only break-resistant.
  • This melamine plate shattered after dropping on its edge from less than 1 meter.
  • It shattered into sharp pieces, creating a safety issue for bare feet and potentially damaging floors surfaces.
  • Melamine plates are only break-resistant so only partially fill their primary role.
  • Guaranteed Dishwasher Safe The materials used are able to withstand dishwasher temperatures and chemicals.
  • Microwave Safe for Reheating Food and liquids can be safely reheated.
  • Melamine is not recommended for reheating because its surface is porous to water which turns to steam in a microwave which can crack the plate Scratch and Stain Resistant – a key innovation The tough surface is highly scratch and stain resistant.
  • This has been enhanced using the same coating technology found on computers and phones to make them scratch resistant.
  • This combination overcomes the scratch-resistant constraint normally associated with plastic, making it a viable, long-lasting and superior alternative to melamine.
  • Safe Both materials used are USDA & EU approved for food contact – without qualification.
  • Melamine is considered unsafe by some consumers and there is a growing reaction against it use.
