2. Interesting Material to order

Arboform (fluid wood)
- Composite consists out of flax and hemp fibers and lignin as matrix
- Lignin
- similar properties to plastics
- can be used for infection molding
- 100% renewable raw-materials
- 100% recyclable
- Material Properties

Paperclay
- Clay with a max. ratio of 40%
- Clay materials
- Earthenware
- Terra cotta
- Stoneware
- Procelain
- Bone China
- Normal to slightly higher fringing temperature
- Stronger than normal clay
- Less crackings
- Easiler to constract larger pieces
- Easier to demold
- Burned - fiber disappear - Material similar to corals
Further information
Paperstone
- Similar to paper-mach%EA but much stronger
- Material components: paper, glue, water, clay, chalk (big portion), linseed oil
- Used for doll heads and fireproof walls
Reinforced concrete
- Fiber types: metal, glass, carbon, aramide
- high density concrete Contact
