At the end of the 1950’s this technological development led naturally to the birth of the
Labware Division, a section of Kartell that supplies products specifically for the laboratory market.
The division uses raw materials, such as Polypropylene, Polystyrene and Polyethylene, to
their best possible advantage, creating many products that are lightweight, highly resistant,
inexpensive and the natural alternatives to glass.
The choice of the plastic to be used obviously depends on the individual application.
For this reason it is necessary to consider important factors such as chemical concentration, contact time, ageing effects, thermal stress, aggressiveness of detergents, UV radiation exposure, sterilisation and other environmental effects.
It is this commitment to quality that led to Kartell being granted ISO 9001 certification in
1996, and will continue to be its driving force into the future. |
