PaperStone® is the first composite material to be made from 100% FSC® certified recycled* paper and cardboard impregnated with a phenolic resin called PetroFreeTM. This is obtained mainly through the ‘pressing’ of cashew nut shells and therefore does not contain petrol-derived chemical compounds.
Its beauty is unique, its functionality and reliability represent a true eco-friendly alternative to traditional ‘solid surfaces’.
Natural pigments used in production, in place of chemical colourants, offer greater resistance to UV light, stable colours and a homogeneous colour throughout the density of the panel.#
PaperStone® complies with the toughest standards for the environment and holds Forest Stewardship Council®** certification in regard to the Rainforest Alliance® Smartwood Program*** program.
To bring out the beauty of PaperStone® in horizontal applications such as kitchen worktops and bathroom surfaces, we recommend applying a protective coating of Osmo® Top Oil to the surface.
PaperStone® surfaces have a long life-span and is recommended for use in domestic kitchens and bathrooms, as well as being ideal for use in numerous commercial applications. It is also a suitable surface for use in the catering sector with CE1935 and NSF® certifications making ideal for surfaces that come into contact with food.
