What is Durasein made of?
Durasein materials consist of two-thirds alumina trihydrate (derived from bauxite, a natural ore) and one-third high-performance acrylic resin and pigments. As a result, this unique composition creates a dense, “stone-like” material that remains easy to fabricate with standard woodworking tools. Furthermore, it’s completely thermoformable, unlocking endless creative opportunities.
