Material & Life Expectancy
Replas is committed to producing the best product possible whilst ensuring the use of recycled plastic as a raw material. As it is made from more than 85% recycled raw material - the nature of which is highly variable.

Products are designed to last and have a life expectancy of more than 40 years.

Warranty General Specification
Material Source
Post-consumer and post-industrial waste plastic and other additives.
Voids and Finish
Porosity to a maximum of 25% of cross section. Maximum void length 20% of largest cross section. Surface finish will be relatively smooth and not have any major voids or visible defects.
Size
Sizes are indicative and do vary batch to batch as shrinkage is not consistent. Variance is approx. 1.5%. Fins on planking also may vary.
Colour
With different batches and in some cases in the same batch run, product produced will have slight shades of colour variance.
Finish
Replas produce a recycled product that will never look like products that use virgin material, clients should expect the finished product to have some minor flaws in the finished product.
Air holes or bubbles in the profile
From time to time the porosity (the amount of small spaces or voids within a solid material) of our profiles or Enduroplank™ will differ due to the vast range of recycled material we use. The only downside to the Porosity being varied is aesthetics. The reason we don't do a solid section of Enduroplank™ is that it is weaker than the current w section and the porosity or bubble holes actually add value.
UV Stability
Polyolefins are rated as one of the most UV stable polymers in general use, as an example properly stabilized HDPE is capable of 50 years' service life in outdoor conditions. Replas uses in its products state of the art UV stabilisation systems added at the appropriate rates which gives its products a long service life.
Given the variability of materials used and the diverse conditions in which Replas products are situated, Replas can only give a limited guarantee. However we can say with confidence that our products will have greater than 15 years retention of properties and will be free from chalking for this period of time. Thick section products, i.e. outdoor furniture, should retain mechanical strength for several decades.
