Ecolan® recycled solid surface material

Ecolan® is Marlan’s new recycled solid surface brand. Ecolan® consists of 35% recycled solid surface material. Ecolan® is the first Dutch solid surface brand which is made of recycled solid surface.

Ecolan® starts with 3 designs:

• Neutral White: completely white recycled solid surface sheet that can also be recycled time and time again
• Confetti Pink: a cheerful confetti sheet with the basic color white and pink, yellow, orange and blue flakes
• Confetti Red: a cheerful confetti  sheet with the basic color white and red, green, blue and yellow/terra flakes

Neutral White can be recycled into the same product again and again. Confetti can also be recycled after use, but then a different color solid surface sheet is made.

Composition and properties

Solid Surface sheet material is made of mineral filler bonded in a polyester resin, in the case of Marlan®. Solid Surface material is known for its excellent properties. This material is chemical-resistant, non-flammable, food-safe, non-porous, anti-bacterial, and biologically neutral. The surface of this material is robust and very easy to maintain.

Advantages of a solid surface with polyester resin

Ecolan® is a solid surface sheet made with a polyester resin. Corian and Hi-Macs are made with an acrylic resin, which allows you to bend it. A solid surface sheet made with polyester resin cannot be bent, but it does have other advantages:

• is more chemical resistant
• is easier and more beautiful to sand
• feels more like stone
