Origins is the trade
name of a plastic panel used as an interior building material that is
made from recycled polyethylene. It takes approximately 8 milk jugs to
equal 1 Lb of Origins. The bottle recycling designation is HDPE #2.
Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic material that is resistant to
chemicals and moisture. It has a weight of 0.036 per cubic inch. Typical
Origins is not UV stabilized.
Origins panels are made
by compression molding PE particles in the form of flakes or pellets,
which can be different colors or sizes. When various colors are blended
together and compression molded, the result is a unique pattern that
goes all the way through the panel.
4. APPLICATIONS
Origins is ideal for
restroom and shower partitions, vanity and counter tops, work surfaces
and table tops. Origins can be used as a plastic laminate or a solid
surfacing material.
5. INSTALLATION
1/8” Origins, when used
as a plastic laminate, must have the adhering surface abraded with 40 to
60 grit sand paper to allow adequate contact adhesive purchase. Less
than ½” thickness require a substrate for horizontal surfaces. ½”
requires 12” and 1” requires 24” o.c. support. Origins holds fasteners
well, threaded inserts and through-bolts are preferred.

guarantees Origins used indoors against breakage, corrosion and delamination for
15 YEARS from the date of receipt by the customer.

automatically receive a clear peel coat masking on two sides. All gloss
finish panels receive masking regardless of thickness.
8. TRANSPORT
Origins is shipped
untrimmed with the mold edge to provide edge protection of the panels
during shipping and to allow extra material for saw kerfs. Panels are
packed interleaved on oversize skids with a gross weight usually not
exceeding 2500 Lbs. and shipped LTL freight class 55. 1 to 3 –
4’x8’x1/8” sheets can be rolled and shipped via courier.
All packaging is are
reusable & recyclable.
9. MAINTENANCE
Clean Origins with
solution of warm water and non-abrasive ammoniated cleaner such as Ajax
liquid or mild solvent for more persistent stains and adhesive residue.
10. CAUTIONS
Prices and availability
may change without notice. Colors with the (market) designation are the
naturally occurring colors found in the post-consumer waste stream and
may vary. Origins may be batch sensitive. Patterns produced in
multicolored panels are totally random within the panel and between
panels; the only consistency is the percentage of color.Though every
effort is taken to press pure color resin, the compression molding of
solid colors carries the risk of minor color contamination, which is
considered inherent in the process. The customer
is responsible for determining the suitability of these
products for their
applications.
