 Corian®
An advanced blend of natural materials
and pure acrylic polymer, Corian® is a versatile material available
in pre-cut sheet form. The
versatility of Corian® is also evident
within its wide range of colour options and surface finishes. It can
even be produced to mimic other materials such as marble or granite.
 Droptec®
Is a safety flooring material manufactured
from 100% recycled polyurethane foam. The reclaimed foam is minced
up into small chunks and then reconstituted to create large lightweight
mats, which actually have immense shock absorption capabilities.
 H.D.P.E.
A range of High Density Polythene sheets
(manufactured in the USA) available in different thicknesses, colourways
and sheet sizes. The sheets are manufactured
using 100% recycled plastic which is tapped from the post consumer
waste stream, namely washing up liquid bottles. The material has a
distinct aesthetic and was heavily used by designers in the early
1990's.

waste stream, namely washing up liquid bottles. The material has a
distinct aesthetic and was heavily used by designers in the early
1990's.
 H.D.P.E.
This particular High Density Polythene
sheet (available in different thicknesses and sheet sizes)
is made from recycled plastic coffee cups. The black flecks are from
small cream cartons that were also added to the mix.
Jute/Thermoset
Composite
Fine thermoset plastic fibres are mixed
with equally fine jute fibres to make a non-woven 'rug'. The rug is
then placed within a hot press which melts the plastic and jute together
creating a tough, lightweight shell. This material and process are
currently being used by the automotive industry to manufacture car
interiors. The presence of jute not only reduces the overall weight
of the material, but it also reduces the consumption of non-renewable
resources such as oil (plastic).
 Kenaf/Thermoset
Composite
Fine thermoset plastic fibres are mixed
with equally fine kenaf fibres to make a non-woven 'rug'. The rug
is then placed within a hot press which melts the plastic and kenaf
together creating a tough, lightweight shell. This material and process
are currently being used by the automotive industry to manufacture
car interiors. The presence of kenaf not only reduces the overall
weight of the material, but it also reduces the consumption of non-renewable
resources such as oil (plastic).
 P.E.T.
A range of recycled Polythene sheets
available in different thicknesses, colourways and sheet sizes.
The sheets are manufactured using 100% recycled polythene. It is available
in a clear sheet and has quite a high degree of flexibility when used
as a thin sheet.
Plastic
Lumber
Durable and maintenance-free substitute
for timber in outdoor decking applications. Made from 100% recycled
polythene, these imitations timbers are available in different colours
and sizes. If specified, custom extrusions
are frequently possible.

polythene, these imitation timbers are available in different colours
and sizes.
 Thermoplastic
Composite
A thermosetting plastic which is blended
with recycled materials before injection moulding.
Recyclates that are currently dosed in include; newsprint, denim,
birch wood, coconut fibres, and bagasse.
 Timbaplus®
A range of imitation wood extrusions
suitable for interior detailing applications, made from 100% recycled
polystyrene. A standard range of extruded forms are available whilst
the opportunity to customise is available. Timbaplus® is lightweight
and strong, its also very realistic.
 Treeplast®
An injection mouldable bio-polymer made
from a blend of corn starch and natural cellulose extracted from wood
waste. It is lightweight and available in a variety of colours. Treeplast®
also possesses shock absorption properties similar to A.B.S. and therefore
has many potential design applications.
 Ultrapoly®
A Highly durable and tough plastic made
from reprocessed mechanical grade polythene Frequently utilised in
large scale mining and marine projects. According to the manufacturers
website, it is also believed to be the worlds toughest polymer.
