Avonite® is a global leading brand of
solid surface products for the design community. It is part of Aristech Surfaces that has produced and marketed a broad range of surface and design materials to provide quality, cost-conscious, and high-end aesthetic solutions sought by OEMs, architects, designers and fabricators for industries around the globe. A pioneer in solid surfacing since 1983, Avonite Surfaces® was the first to introduce a vibrant spectrum of colors at a time when the industry consisted of only pale neutrals. We offer a broad palette of colors and designs for every project. It can be used in vertical or horizontal applications, applied in straight or curved lines, or thermoformed into a myriad of shapes. We continue to expand our line of offerings with innovative, spectacular colors and patterns for our customers. Avonite® sets the new standard in the industry by offering a wide range of acrylic solid surface sheets, in the widest range of available standard widths and thicknesses.
AVONITE®: The solution to accomplish boldest projects.
Complimented by a range of colours specially selected to serve the European market, AVONITE® offers tones and textures suited to the creation of harmonious spaces. Homogeneous throughout its thickness, the material allows for careful cutouts, as well as the sanding of its surface, capable of giving it a lustred sheen at all times. AVONITE® sheets become supple and malleable when exposed to the heat of special ovens. One thing is certain: with its organic shapes and rounded corners, the material’s gentle curves provide comfort and warmth to any interior design. Whether through the even and glossy translucence of Ice White or the creation of motifs trimmed in lighter colours, AVONITE® offers beautiful ways to treat light. AVONITE® adhesives are colour matched exactly to ensure seamless joints. Now you can create monolithic installations and counters stretching as far as the eye can see!
Most advanced production technologies
The use of a double-belt continuous cast process allows the adjustment of the product width to any size between 686 mm and 1524 mm. Thanks to this highly efficient process, Aristech Surfaces LLC offers 3 different widths at no surcharge cost per m² and any other width between 686 mm and 1524 mm at a highly competitive price. Continuous-casting optimises the mixing of ingredients to offer a perfect colour consistency not only within the same batch but even within different production batches (ΔE < 1). The thickness of the product – taking into account the shrinking effect – is easily adjusted by means of a high precision gear and spindle system that sets the gap between upper and lower belt. Consequence? AVONITE®’s tolerance on the thickness across a sheet is the lowest among any other Acrylic Solid Surface. Precision in manufacturing is key for the most ambitious projects and AVONITE® is meant to be part of them. Realised without solvent and from a 100% monomer solution, the bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate produced in the double-belt manufacturing process contributes to reduce the impact of Volatile Organic Compounds on environment. That’s how AVONITE® has been classified by SCS Global Services at the most demanding level “Indoor Advantage Gold” for its capacity to preserve indoor air quality. And that’s not all: with its symmetric heating and cooling system, this highly efficient system contributes to save energy. Finally, continuous-casting improves the yield and reduces scrap for an optimised usage of resources.
