Richlite Prototype Material | Black Diamond Part Sheets

A dense, durable and versatile solid paper composite material with a leathery feel in a deep, solid Black Diamond colour. Part sheets are ideal for prototypes, small CNC beds and smaller projects which don't require a full sheet. 

Made in the USA, Richlite is an incredibly durable material made from paper, ideal for a variety of uses. Developed over 70 years ago for industrial tooling, Richlite has evolved into a premium surface material used by aerospace, extreme sports, marine, food prep and the architecture and design community.

The innovative material’s mottled appearance, honed look, leathery feel and warmth complement a range of interior and exterior applications including furniture, cabinetry, shopfitting, cladding, consumer products, signage, retail displays, restaurant tables, bar tops, and worktops.

Nonporous, heat and water resistant, the paper composite material can withstand everything from food preparation environments to the harsh outdoors. Whether selected for its natural appeal, durability, strength, sustainability or its unique look and feel, Richlite outperforms and outlasts conventional materials.
