RESIN · ENGINEERED MATERIAL
Translucent Resin
Translucent Resin is a lightweight engineered material that diffuses light while providing colour, depth and partial privacy. It can be manufactured with embedded textures, pigments and decorative elements, making it suitable for partitions, lighting, furniture and feature surfaces.

Advantages & Limitations
Advantages
- Diffuses light while providing partial privacy
- Lightweight compared with many glass products
- Available in custom colours and textures
- Can incorporate decorative embedded materials
- Suitable for curved and fabricated forms
Limitations
- Can scratch under abrasive contact
- Some products may yellow with UV exposure
- Heat resistance depends on the resin type
- Harsh solvents can damage the surface
- Fire performance varies between products
06
Maintenance & Care
Clean with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and a mild soap solution. Remove fingerprints and spills promptly, then dry the surface with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Avoid abrasive pads, alcohol, acetone and strong solvents unless the manufacturer specifically approves them. Use protective pads beneath objects that could scratch the surface.
07
Installation Considerations
- Confirm fire and building-code requirements before specification.
- Allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
- Use compatible adhesives, fixings and sealants.
- Provide suitable support for large panels.
- Protect finished faces during fabrication and installation.
08
Sustainability
The environmental impact of translucent resin depends on its chemical composition, recycled content and manufacturing process. Prioritise durable products with verified recycled or bio-based content, low-emission certifications and manufacturer take-back programmes.
