Frequently Asked Questions
Since the chips are cured, will I be able to mold a curved or complex shape?
FAIRMAT materials can be shaped into practically any form. With proper design, even sharp radius features can be molded perfectly. Our engineers can support your design phase.
Will the material stick to itself?
The material requires lamination using new resin or bonding with virgin materials that adhere to it. Wet processes, resin films or hybridization with virgin materials are possible
How does it get to my facility?
FairPly is shipped as flat-packed squares (typically 800 x 800 mm) or in continuous roll format. It does not require refrigeration. Bulk shipments and local warehousing available globally.
