The Kavalier Glassworks was established in 1837 and has been making glassware ever since. In fact, this is the oldest technical glassware factory in Europe. Over the years, many changes have taken place and the factory is currently considered an important producer world-wide. The glass made is of the borosilicate type and is marketed under its own registered brand name SIMAX.
With its chemical composition and properties, the glass SIMAX falls within the group of clear “hard” borosilicate glasses “3.3” characterized by high heat and chemical stability, as specified by international standards ISO 3585. It completely meets requirements concerning properties specified by the mentioned standards.
From the SIMAX glass, a large spectrum of technical as well as laboratory glass products, industrial apparatuses, and household boiling glassware are manufactured. Due to their properties, these products are highly demanded throughout the world. Owing to its properties, the glass SIMAX is used in the areas with the highest requirements put on products concerning heat and chemical stability as well as neutrality to substances or preparations contacting them, e.g. in chemistry, petrochemistry, food industry, power engineering, metallurgy, health service, microbiology, pharmacy, mechanical engineering & laboratories.
Products made of the SIMAX glass are smooth and imporous, perfectly transparent, catalytically indifferent, corrosion-resistant even in long-lasting operations, sufficiently homogeneous, and free of any heterogeneous particles.
The SIMAX glass is very friendly to the environment and is absolutely unexceptionable from the ecological viewpoint.
