This week’s material is called Wacotech ViewPan® PET. I have seen this material in stores where different plastics are sold but I didn’t know how its called. That’s why I have decided to write about this material.
This material is decorative honeycomb composite panel with a unique in Germany patented PET core and PET faces. The core material of the panels ViewPan PET and ViewPan PMMA are honeycomb core wave from clear PET plastic combs with 18mm-wide cell.
This is transparent to both sides, and bonded with satin and/or coloured surface layers of PET/PMMA plastic. A special translucent adhesive combines the crystal-clear honeycomb with the surface layers.
The result is a combination of amazing visual effects with strength and light weight. The honeycomb gives interesting visual effects and a three-dimensional depth from different angles. The ratios vary between clear viewing and diffuse light scattering. By applying coloured and/or satin slides on the surface layers more variations are possible.
