HI-MACS

HI-MACS is a composition of acrylic, minerals and natural pigments that combine to create a smooth, non porous, thermoformable and visually seamless solid surface.

The material meets the highest standards for quality in all respects: material performance, fabrication, functionality and hygiene.  Thanks to these qualities and the outstanding flexibility in fabrication by Blackdown, HI-MACS offers countless advantages over conventional materials.

Key Characteristics and Benefits

Seamless Fabrication: Joints are invisible, allowing for large, continuous surfaces and integrated, easy-to-clean sinks.

  • Hygienic: Non-porous and non-absorbent, making it resistant to bacteria, mold, and stains, ideal for healthcare and food preparation areas.
  • Thermoformable: Can be heated to take on three-dimensional, curved, and complex shapes.
  • Durable & Repairable: Highly resistant to daily wear and tear. If damaged, it can be easily repaired and restored to its original state by professionals.
  • Advanced Manufacturing: Produced using "Thermalcure" technology—a two-stage curing process that enhances heat resistance, strength, and scratch resistance compared to standard solid surfaces.
  • Versatile Design: Available in a huge range of colors (over 100 variations) and, in some cases, features translucency, making it popular for backlighting and specialized interior projects.
  • Safety Standards: Free from harmful substances like VOCs and formaldehyde, it often meets stringent fire safety standards (e.g., Marine Equipment Directive, Class M1).
Common Applications

Kitchen & Bathroom: Countertops, splashbacks, sink basins, and shower trays

Commercial: Reception desks, retail displays, and wall cladding.

Specialized: Facades for building exteriors and high-hygiene environments like hospitals.
