The most reliable glassware brand in Japan ’s foodservice industry

HS Toughening Technology

1.HS means safety

2.HS means durability and value

3.Dishwasher Safe for both commercial and household use

4.More than 50 years of excellence as Japan's first toughened glass drinkware brand

Physical Toughened Glassware and Ion Toughened Glassware
There are two major toughening methods for glassware: Physical Toughening and Ion Toughening.
Both methods temper the glass by creating a compressive stress on the glass surface.

Type of Toughening HS Full Surface
Ion Toughening
HS Glass-Edge
Physical Toughening
Method of Toughening Exclusively developed by TSG, HS Ion Toughening creates a tempered layer (compressive stress layer). The toughening is applied to the glass edge portion only and is done by heating and rapid cooling to the glass surface creating a compressive stress.
Durability
Full Surface Ion Toughening

HS Ion Toughening adopts innovative techniques exclusively developed by TSG and offers major improvements over traditional rim ion toughening methods. HS Ion Toughening is ideal for thin glass or for glassware with complex shapes.

Superbly Durable and Scratch-Resistant Glassware

  • ●Increased more than 1.6 times as strong as no-toughened glassware
  • ●Excellent scratch resistance
  • Note: from the results of the industry standardized steel ball drop test (JIS S2043:2001) compared to our company products of item no. B-21108CS
Glass-Edge Physical Toughening

The tempered layer (compressive stress layer) is approx. 0.3mm thicker than that of conventional ion toughening, which protects the applied area from scratches for a prolonged period of time.

Safety
Safety

Both HS Ion Toughened glassware and conventional full surface / glass-edge ion toughened glassware break like normal glassware. They will not be subjected to abrupt, violent shattering that might occur to full surface physical toughened glassware.

Safety

HS Glass-Edge Toughening solves the abrupt - shattering phenomenon that may happen to full surface treated glass. By limiting the toughening to the top portion only, the way of breaking will be more similar to that of a conventional glass.

FINE CLEAR

FINE CLEAR

“Fine Clear” is the brand name of high-grade soda-lime glass material developed by Toyo-Sasaki Glass. In addition to its strength, Fine Clear achieves supreme clarity and brightness comparable to crystal glass which makes it an ideal material for glass tableware.
All TSG’s machine-made production has now been completely shifted to Fine Clear to refect TSG’s relentless pursuit of product excellence.

[figure] FINE CLEAR

Carefully selected raw material and state-of-the-art glass melting technology are applied to minimize iron ion (Fe2+) content. Iron ion is known to have a negative effect to the color hue of the glass.
