Zorite
Zorite
Natural composite formed by vegetal fibers and natural resins of organic and/or inorganic origin, with their own mechanical properties. General physical properties: density varying between 0.24 and 0.8; the lowest density with a mechanical resistance of 13Kg per cm². As a low cost manufacturing process (little water and power consumption; with or without recyclable raw-materials), it allows for handmade and industrial production. It accepts continuous and discontinuous production processes. It can be applied to furniture, civil construction and as thermal-acoustic insulation. The resins can also be used as fire retardant and combatent for wood, paper, foam and fabrics, or as termite-resistant varnishes (recyclable ecologic lacquers). Three registered patents.
