PaperStone Products

Paperstone Countertop Photo

PaperStone Original contains 50% recycled paper. Five of the colors are made with 50% post-consumer recycled paper. The color Leather currently is made with our proprietary resin but is not made with recycled paper.

PaperStone Certified has the same great attributes that PaperStone original has. They both have a water absorption of less than 1% with a compressive strength of 45,000 PSI. PaperStone Certified is FSC certified made with 100% post-consumer recycled paper, it has been approved by SmartWood and the Rainforest Alliance. Its manufacture takes far less energy and uses renewable resources unlike traditional materials.

PaperStone uses a water base resin system that uses non-petroleum based phenols and when finished has no detectable free formaldehyde. These are huge advancements in paper and resin and we will continue to make more advancements in the area of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) phenols. Our goal is to one day use only CSNL phenols. A 1" by 5' by 12' sheet of PaperStone Certified (versus a regular phenolic composite manufactured from virgin fiber and a regular, commercially available, solvent-based resin) saves:

• 1233 gallons of water
• 2.03 million BTU's of energy
• 131 pounds of solid waste
• 254 pounds of greenhouse gases
• 55 pounds of petroleum-based phenol
• 22 pounds of natural gas-based methanol

Regular PaperStone, with a 50% post-consumer recycled content product (versus 100% for PaperStone Certified), saves a similar amount of phenol and methanol but only 50% of the water, energy, solid waste and greenhouse gases listed above.

PaperStone Care & Maintenance

General cleaning of PaperStone consists of wiping down surface with hot soapy water or a mild abrasive kitchen cleaner. For ongoing maintenance, the use of the PaperStone Cleaner and Rejuvenator can be applied as often as the desired look is achieved. Use hot pads or trivets under hot pots and pans. Always use a cutting board. Never use chemicals to clean or refinish PaperStone products.

To remove stains and light scratches, use a maroon or green Scotch Brite pad with light buffing. If harsh scratches or burn marks accrue, use a maroon Scotch Brite or 220 grit or above sand paper on a random orbital sander to remove. Excessive sanding in the same area may result in light spots, refinishing of the whole area may be needed to keep a consistent look across the entire surface.

Buffing the surface with the Scotch Brite pad wipe down surface with damp cloth to remove all particles. Apply a thin coat of the PaperStone finish to the portion of countertop you are treating, spread with bare hands over the entire surface. Let finish set for a minimum of 20 minutes and wipe off excess. Finish using a clean, soft cloth to give an even, rich luster. For best results, do not use finished area for at least 12 hours so the finish can harden. Then wipe down with a soft cloth and buff until desired look is achieved.
