Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a high-performance thermoplastic created through the reaction of bisphenol A (BPA) and phosgene, forming a polymer with carbonate groups that give it a unique combination of properties. This structure is responsible for its renowned durability, clarity, and thermal stability.
Unmatched Durability
With an impact resistance up to 200 times greater than glass, polycarbonate ensures furniture like chairs and tables can withstand daily use while remaining virtually unbreakable, making it especially suitable for high-traffic residential and commercial spaces. This material is also inherently fire-resistant and can be treated to filter harmful UV rays, protecting both the furniture’s appearance and the interior environment over time.
Design Versatility
Beyond its strength, polycarbonate offers 89% light transmission. It can be thermoformed into complex, fluid shapes—from sleek monolithic tables to intricate sculptural chairs—that are difficult or impossible to achieve with other materials, allowing for truly unique designs. Furthermore, it is available in a spectrum of finishes, from crystal-clear to opaque and in various colors, providing vast creative freedom.
