Green Chairs – Paper Chairs?

June 7th, 2011 Comments off
We copied the following text from a website offer we recently found.  How about this?  Paper chairs? 

Paper chairs?

They say the material is water resistant.  But our concern is rain or spilled drinks.  If one spills a beer during an emotional playoff game, will the paper chair lose its ridgidity and collapse the next time someone uses it?

High Density Paper Composite (HDPC)

Innovative, natural, durable, strong; Maglin’s new High Density Paper Composite (HDPC) is the perfect alternate to wood for sustainable site furniture.

HDPC is created using FSC-certified 100% post-consumer recycled paper saturated with proprietary pheolic resins containing natural ingredients. Once saturated, the sheets are fused together under heat and pressure. This cross-links the resin polymer in all three directions producing a dense, homogeneous and essentially non-porous composite product that does not delaminate. Ordinary material is transformed into an extremely strong and durable solid surface material with incredible longevity and resistance to water.

Benefits of HDPC:
• FSC-Certified 100% post-consumer recycled paper
• Heat resistant to 350°F
• Class A fire and smoke rating
• Made of recycled paper and uses many natural ingredients
• Aesthetic appeal and warmth
