Polycarbonate Pint Glasses and Tumblers

Sept. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Unbreakable Plastic Pint Glasses and rigid Polystrene Reusable Pint Tumblers are now  a common feature in pubs and nightclubs up and down the UK, increasingly so since the  introduction  of the smoking ban. As people who smoke are made to go  outside to smoke - taking their Pint Glass with them - so we have seen a rise in the number of "glassings" (sadly the word "Glass" is now a verb  in this country "to glass")

As a consequence of this rise in injuries more local authorities, pubs chains and police forces are demanding that  unbreakable Plastic Glasses (http://www.eventsupplies.co.uk/product_listing,18,0,Reusable_and_CE_Marked_Plastic_Glasses.html) are used on an evening (it  seems the availability of alcohol 24 hours a day here hasn't changed our fighting habits too much)

Funding for such large  changes to our drinking vessels has been granted  by some councils to assist some establishments  in the change over, cash one imagines has been saved  from a reduction in ambulance call outs and time  spent in A&E.

There are two types of Plastic Cups (http://www.eventsupplies.co.uk) which are now becoming  commonplace, Polycarbonate glasses and Polystyrene reusable glasses.

The Polycarb was first designed to be used for commercial plane windscreens as planes needed a transparent material tougher than glass as the screens  regularly came into contact with winged animals. Polycarbonate  material is now most commonly used for Plastic cups and Bullet Proof Glass, the material looks just like glass and is lighter in weight than glass.

Unlike Polycarb Glasses Rigid Polystyrene glasses will break but are difficult to so they could not be used as a stabbing weapon and  are a cheap way of avoiding using actual glass pint  tumblers.
