Ipalyss (English)

ROBUSTLY TESTED FOR PEACE OF MIND

To ensure IPALYSS ® vessels can resist heavy usage over a long period we worked with Lucideon, the independent materials testing institute. As you can see below, some samples of our Diamatec material could not be broken by the maximum impact energy that could be delivered by the test machine; while all of the samples of competitors’ material were broken within the machine’s operating range.

Diamatec also performed well in an edge chipping test, where a metal ball was swung into the product. These results illustrate the robustness of Diamatec that enables us to achieve the holy grail of ceramics: extremely strong, thin, straight edges.

In the centre tests, many Ideal Standard samples withstood the maximum impact energy that could be delivered by the test machine: 0.54J.

* 4 IPALYSS ® vessels were tested against 4 competitors’ products for Ideal Standard by independent materials technology company Lucideon.
