Richlite Compressed Recycled Paper
Handmade from many layers of compressed high quality recycled custom craft paper, Richlite’s surface texture comes from the natural variation in the way fibers lay within the paper. Composed of approximately 65% FSC®-certified or recycled paper content and 35% phenolic resin, it is ideal for machine tooling furniture and interior projects. FSC and Greenguard certified.
The process of creating Richlite is both simple and complex. Rolls of paper are saturated with a thermosetting resin before being cut to length and laid up by hand.
