Description: The original Swiss Bottle.
I currently have a CamelBak bottle, and I just read many reviews on stainless steel water bottles. For those of you doubting the "secret lining" of SIGG water bottles, here's a message from the SIGG President. Maybe it's convincing enough?
Steve Wasik
President, SIGG USA
One of the reasons SIGG is the world leader in the manufacturing of premium water bottles is because of our proprietary bottle liner. This special liner is a water-based, non-toxic polymer which has been perfected over decades of Swiss craftsmanship. Like Coca-Cola's soft drink recipe, the SIGG liner formula remains secret and unavailable to third parties in order to protect our competitive advantage. The Swiss have confirmed to me the following information which may be of interest to you:
1. The SIGG bottle liner meets and exceeds requirements outlined by the USA FDA regulations (175.300). The liner is micro thin and still allows for the bottle to be 100% recyclable.
2. Due to the finish/porosity of the liner, SIGGs outperform polycarbonate #7 and other plastic materials at reducing bacteria build-up and ease of cleaning.
3. The SIGG bottle liner is totally inert because it is baked on at extremely high temperatures (over 200 degrees Celsius). The liner is flexible and remains intact and fully functioning no matter how dented the outside of the bottle becomes.
4. SIGGs are safe to be placed in the dishwasher with no harm to the liner. In addition, SIGG's liner protects from any migration or leaching of the liner & container into the liquid. All tests of the liquid reveal no trace (0 %) of any of the following chemicals: Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), Bysphenol A (BPA)
