- R-cast ICER-cast Ice is an acrylic, custom cast, textured material (polymethyl methacrylate) which simulates the appearance of ice without any repetitive patterns. It has similar light diffusing qualities as real ice. Available in multiple sizes, colours, textures, surface treatments and edge finishes.
- HydrospanHydroSpan 100 can enlarge any shape or design in near perfect proportion and detail. When parts cast from HydroSpan are soaked in water, they accurately…
- SeconectSeconect is a lightweight but strong and resistant composite material, based on polypropylene. The material is scratch and abrasion resistant, has a high impact strength and energy absorption, has a low flammability and is free of emissions. Furthermore Seconect is waterproof and resistant against many acids and bases.
- VariolineVarioLine® is a thermoplastic panel that consists of a compact multi-phase composite system made of homogenous basic substances. The sheets are robust and light weight.
- Coffee polymerCoffee polymer is a material consisting of 30% coffee grounds and 70 other biobased raw materials. The Espresso Polymer is dishwasher-proof and biodegrades only in controlled circumstances. The Cappuccino Polymer is fully biodegradable in natural circumstances in about one year. The Americano Polymer biodegrades in about two months.
- CPCs – Cork Polymer CompoundsCork polymer compounds - CPCs are classified as particle-reinforced composites and are an example of the combination of the properties of thermoplastic polymers with the unique advantages of cork. Developed by Amorim Cork Composites’ I.cork factory, CPCs are a range of cork bio composites offering the mouldability of plastics and the lightness and sustainability of cork.
- Polymer concrete ‘coins’Polymer concrete is an artificial concrete made with synthetic polymers instead of lime cement. It can be reinforced with fibreglass. Polymer concrete can be used for facade cladding, tiles and floor covering.
- Polymer concrete glassBroken reinforced glass is added to polymer concrete and the resulting material is polished on both sides. The effect is translucent and sparkling.
- BioGreen padding polymerBioGreen padding polymer is a high efficiency, biobased, vegan padding polymer. The material is 100% made from natural and renewable resources, partly obtained from recycled vegetable materials and partly from organic renewable sources. The padding is an alternative to down filling or petroleum-based filling material and has outstanding performances.
- Glass PolymerThis raw material is an alternative to traditional polymers and can be used where glass falls short. It can be converted by injection molding, injection blow molding & extrusion blow molding. Low UV-resistance, easy processing, tough, clarity, impact resistance, chemical resistance, design flexible.
- Cast PolymerSelf-structural panels produced by casting translucent fiberglass facings directly onto the structural honeycomb core. Three styles, standard colors or Pantone matched.
- Shape memory polymersSMP material is made of shape memory polymers. These smart materials can return from a deformed state to their original shape when induced by a temperature change. It can store embossed logo/text shape information in the synthetic, paper-like film and release these 3D patterns when exposed to ≥65°C for 3 seconds.
- CPC Cork Polymer compositeCork Polymer Composites (CPC) is a composition of 30% Cork flour, 30% Coconut fiber and 40% PVAc resin. This mixture is melt compounded and granulated and than consolidated under heat and mild pressure.
- Self healing polymersSelf healing polymers have a micro-encapsulated healing agent that is embedded in a structural composite matrix. A crack ruptures the microcapsules, releasing the healing agent into the crack plane through capillary action. The healing agent contacts a catalyst, triggering polymerization that bonds the crack faces closed.
- Inorganic Polymer ConcreteWall tile Zenith is made out of guilt-free concrete. Guilt-free because it doesn’t contain any cement, but still has all and more of the benefits of original concrete. The cement is replaced by waste materials with cementitious properties, giving it strength and great aesthetic looks.
- Reselo RubberReselo Rubber is a patented biobased rubber polymer made entirely from birch bark. Developed in Sweden, the material uses birch bark residues from the pulp, paper and plywood industries, where this side stream is commonly used as fuel.
- ColbackUsing so-called 'bi-component' yarns based on a higher melting polymer constituting a stiff core filament surrounded by a lower-melting skin polymer, a unique 'non-woven' can be made. The non-wovens can be used for various applications including primary backing for tufted carpets, filtration support media and carriers for coatings, laminated polymers etc.
- Tree of CultureCalled Tree of Culture, Basse Stittgen's project traces the journey that the two polymers of wood take, back to the moment when the cellulose fibre was held together by the lignin in a tree. Shown here is a thermoformed biocomposite consisting of lignin and cellulose. The two components are mixed together and are then filled into a metal mould and heat pressed at 180° C with around 10 tons of pressure.
- Dot concreteThis Polymer concrete is a mixture of 90% natural stone and 10% polyester resin. Light is transmitted by clear synthetic tubes from both surfaces of the element. Dot concrete is a polymer concrete that PP Gevelbouw BV developed together with designer Shanna Deurloo.
- EssemplexEssemplex is a fully formable, thermoplastic shape memory polymer (SMP) resin. Once formed, the polymer exhibits shape memory properties. There are two versions of Essemplex, activation temperatures of 34°C and 43°C.
- Kova TextilesKova Textiles create uniquely textured solar window fabrics with vinyl coated polyester yarns and KovaLux proprietary filaments. When light passes through a Kova fabric, it dissolves into a diaphanous surface - sheer, yet not transparent - translucent, but not opaque. These textiles work well as wall hangings, room dividers or in any application where light, either natural or artificial, can pass through the fabric.
- AxpolyRecycled post-consumer materials and waste plastic feedstock’s are converted into raw high-grade polymers with low carbon impact polymers and suitable for a range of applications. Manufactured under strict ISO9001 quality standards Axpoly matches the performance of virgin grade plastics.
- Positive Plastics KitPositive Plastics, aims to convey a more accepting outlook on plastics to designers, engineers, and product managers. It is an invaluable tool for materials understanding and communication between non-technical and technical team members. This curated kit is a sample collection of various innovative, commercially available polymers, all with a reduced footprint compared to virgin polymers alternatives.
- VectranVectran is a high-performance multifilament yarn spun from liquid crystal polymer (LCP). This fibre has impressive strength and rigidity. Pound for pound, Vectran fibre is five times stronger than steel and ten times stronger than aluminium. The material has high strength and modulus, excellent creep resistance, high abrasion resistance, and minimal moisture absorption.
