- PolimarblePolimarble is a high-quality crafted thermoplastic material, using locally collected 100% high-grade wasted plastic film (PE). The marble-like patterns are a result of precise material sorting, colour selection and a particular processing technique. Glossy semi-glossy and matt surface finishings are possible.
- Acoustic textile feltAcoustic Textile Felt is as sound absorbing as it is decorative. The felt material is made from end-of-life textiles and cut offs, with a soft feel and a reference to the tactility of textile. The material is made from wool or cotton, consisting of 70% textile, 30% thermoplastic binder, and can replace acoustic materials. The input material have been selected with meticulous consideration of current resource streams.
- Strong as steel, as flexible as rope, and as malleable as puttyBraeön (pronounced like ‘brawn’) is, according to its creators, the world’s strongest and most adaptable material. The adventure-proof tape is as strong as steel,…
- Textiles ‘INSECTED’This textile by designer Barbara Medo is inspired by skeletal structure of dragonfly wings. The material consists of a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with a core of polyester. This yarn is knitted by hand or by machine. The whole is placed under tension and then pressed with heat, giving the material is given its final shape.
- Plant CultureThis product is a lignin-cellulose based thermoplastic panels. The panels are manufactured by Gehr plastics, and were successfully thermoformed according to a special custom-design by architectural students within the (Do-It-Yourself) Architectural Seminar work at itke- University of Stuttgart. The product can be mainly applied in interior applications including cladding systems, interior space-dividers, partitions, in furniture and exhibitions. The panels are recyclable, bio-degradable and have no VOC contents.
- S2 High Tech-WoodS2 is a wood material, in which polypropylene acts as the bonding agent and which thus combines the properties of thermoplastic materials with those of classical wood materials. Many shapes are possible.
- Eastar copolyester 6763Eastar™ copolyester 6763 is a clear, amorphous, thermoplastic polymer.
