RESYSTA®

Durable natural fiber composite

RESYSTA® is a natural fiber composite with a wood-like appearance, composed primarily of rice husks. A special process is used to bond these homogeneously within a polymer matrix. This gives the material exceptional durability as well as the look and feel of wood. It offers numerous advantages, making it particularly well-suited for use as bench seating.

Production and properties

from RESYSTA®

RESYSTA® is a fiber-reinforced hybrid material made from approximately 60% rice husks, a waste product of the food industry, approximately 22% rock salts, and approximately 18% mineral oil.

Three Erlenmeyer flasks stand side by side, the left one contains brown powder, the middle one pink crystals, the right one amber liquid, against a plain, bright background.

Composition of natural fiber composite: 60% rice husks, 22% rock salts, 18% mineral oil.

RESYSTA® can be colored

An additional advantage over natural materials: Since RESYSTA® is produced as a mixture, it can also be dyed in various shades. It thus meets all the requirements of a modern, versatile material. And in the design of garden objects and street furniture, completely new possibilities open up that could not be realized in any other way.

Who is behind RESYSTA®?

RESYSTA® has only been available for use in street furniture for a few years and is still an insider tip. The material was further developed by a medium-sized company near Munich for the German market and is marketed exclusively.

Comparison: RESYSTA® vs. 100% Hardwood

RESYSTA® outperforms its natural counterpart—100% tropical hardwood—in almost every respect: it is weather-resistant, does not turn grey, resists fungal and insect infestation, and does not splinter, swell, or crack. In terms of both look and feel, RESYSTA® resembles hardwood. RESYSTA® products can be processed and installed using the same tools used for working with wood.

RESYSTA® products are designed for a long service life and do not require the maintenance and preservation typically associated with wood.

Restrictions of RESYSTA® as a bench seat cover

In addition to all the advantages that the natural fiber compound in wood look has, there are also limitations in its use:

The manufacturing process is complex and expensive - RESYSTA® is not a cheap product.
For bench seats, self-supporting structures are often required. RESYSTA® is not suitable for this. For bench seats, a stable substructure is usually also required.
RESYSTA® is extruded, i.e. pressed out as a solid to viscous mass under pressure from a die or die. This significantly limits the choice of cross-sections. However, it is deformable under the supply of heat, so that even special projects can be realized with extra effort.

Tender specifications for RESYSTA® material

The material used is the homogeneously extruded Resysta®, consisting of approx. 60% rice husks, approx. 22% rock salt and approx. 18% mineral oil. The material is 100% wood-free, permanently water- and weather-resistant, and UV-resistant.

It exhibits very low to no water absorption and is therefore resistant to swelling, cracking, splintering and rotting. Resysta® is resistant to fungal and rot damage, as well as to salt and chlorinated water, and is particularly suitable for areas subject to constant weathering and high humidity.

The material can be machined.

RESYSTA: The environmentally friendly hybrid material for durable seat covers

RESYSTA is an innovative hybrid material that offers the best combination of durability, versatility and aesthetics. Unlike conventional materials, RESYSTA is made from a mixture of rice husks, salt and mineral oil, creating an extremely resistant product.

RESYSTA is the perfect choice for demanding users who want to combine the best of aesthetics and functionality. It looks and feels like high-quality tropical wood, but is much more resistant to moisture, heat and UV radiation. As a result, it retains its original color and texture even after years of intensive use, providing you with long-lasting enjoyment.

RESYSTA®: Hybrid Material for Durable Seat Slats

RESYSTA® is a hybrid material composed of approximately 60% rice husks, 22% rock salt, and 18% mineral oil. The rice husks are a by-product of the food industry. This combination of materials creates a durable product with the look and feel of wood.

RESYSTA® is resistant to moisture and UV radiation, does not turn grey, and—thanks to its material properties—is ideally suited for durable outdoor seat slats.
