Seamless Perfection

HI-MACS® allows for visually seamless fabrication. Smooth integration creates large areas without visible joints or edges.

Huge Colour Spectrum

Colour selection is a crucial factor when it comes to high-quality design. HI-MACS® is now available in an expanded range of 66 on-trend colours, including 36 new colours never before launched in Australia. No matter what colour you choose, HI-MACS® remains 100% homogeneous. (Photographed by ©Tiziana Arici)

Three-Dimensional Design

HI-MACS® boasts a simple heating process and three dimensional thermoforming capabilities. This enables greater forming flexibility compared with other conventional materials so that spectacular ideas can quickly take on a concrete shape. The new HI-MACS® Ultra-Thermoforming formula allows the material to be better shaped; the minimal internal radius of as low as 6mm opens a whole new design dimension.

Dramatic Translucency

Certain colours and thicknesses of HI-MACS® exhibit a subtle translucency when exposed to light. The translucent properties of HI-MACS® make it the perfect choice for lamps and illuminated furnishings. (Photographed by Dominik Obertreis)

Simple Processing

Although HI-MACS® is almost as robust as stone, it can be worked in the same way as wood. Using conventional carpenters’ tools, this solid surface material can be sawn, routed or drilled. Thanks to the new Thermalcure-technology the surface of HI-MACS® performs better than the standard in Solid Surface. You save precious time because it is easier to work with.

Note: HI-MACS® solid surface is supplied unfinished. Please ensure you specify your desired finish prior to fabrication. Matte and Satin finishes are more suited to high wear applications, as high gloss finishes tend to show more signs of wear.

Environmental Credentials

LG Hausys leads the way in terms of environmentally responsible action on a global scale, always staying true to this promise. We take environmental responsibilities very seriously. (Image Credits: iStock.com/4maksym)

1. Silica Free

HI-MACS® does not have Crystalline Silica as an ingredient nor is it used in any part of the manufacturing process.

2. Material composition

Aluminium trihydroxide, the main component of HI-MACS®, is a resource-efficient bi-product of Bauxite (aluminium production). This allows a valuable raw material, that would otherwise be discarded without being used, to be utilised in a meaningful way (“Second life concept”).

3. Material safety

Extensive studies – within LG Hausys’ own laboratories as well as tests carried out by other renowned independent institutions – have shown that the HI-MACS® material itself, as well as the cured adhesive, are completely free from formaldehyde and emissions. HI-MACS® has been awarded the Greenguard Gold Indoor Air Quality Certificate.

4. Manufacturing process

The production of this solid surface material is marked by an excellent energy balance. In recent years, the company was very successful in achieving ambitious goals in terms of waste reduction and water conservation. In addition, HI-MACS® plants in Cheongju (Korea) and Atlanta (USA) meet all environmental standards.

5. Processing

The material allows for virtually waste-free processing. In addition, HI-MACS® installations are extremely strong and durable. They can easily be renewed to their original appearance, meaning they don’t have to be replaced, thus giving a positive long-term environmental footprint.

6. Awards, certificates and regular testing

Numerous internationally recognised certificates show the strong focus of LG Hausys on environmental issues. Without exception, all HI-MACS® products are manufactured in accordance with environmental standard ISO:14001 and are NSF and Greenguard Certified. LG Hausys also voluntarily submits to regular environmental audits and energy consumption analyses, publishing the results afterwards.
