Available now across Australia, Eden TPO is setting new standards in terms of not just sustainability, but also style.
Mungo Evergreen Mural - Eden TPO Wall Covering.
April 12th, 2024
After extensive product testing to deliver the high-performance outcome required for commercial-grade projects, Materialised is excited to unveil its ground-breaking printable wall covering, Eden TPO.
In an era in which environmental stewardship, design excellence, and occupant health are paramount, Eden TPO emerges as the epitome of innovation and responsibility, redefining the standards for sustainable wall coverings in commercial applications.
From the responsibly sourced raw materials used to manufacture Eden TPO, to the energy-efficient printing processes employed at its Sydney plant, Materialised has made every effort to ensure the product sets a new standard for sustainability in the contract furnishings industry.
Eden TPO is made of 100% Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) – a blended material, composed of a thermoplastic (such as polypropylene), an elastomer (rubber) and a filler. PVC-free material, it also contains no plasticisers, vinyl resins, chlorine, formaldehyde, heavy metals, or halogen.
Significantly, from an environmental perspective, Eden TPO requires roughly a third less energy than PVC film to produce. Furthermore, it is printed using only water-based inks (which are Greenguard Gold certified) and coatings. While it is flame retardant (as per AS/NZS 3837-1998, Group 2), it can be safely incinerated. Indeed, when disposed of in this way, it produces only water vapour.
Add to that its strength and suitability for a range of applications beyond walling, it is little wonder that TPO has been hailed as something of a wonder product.
Importantly though, the attractions of Eden TPO extend beyond environmental considerations. Conceived with the ambition of elevating interior design to new heights, its printable surface effectively serves as a blank canvas for designers and architects. Thanks to Materialised’s state-of-the-art printing techniques, and its vast design library, they are delivered everything they need to create visually stunning spaces.
Whether it’s sleek modern offices, inviting hospitality venues, or serene healthcare environments, printable Eden TPO adds a touch of elegance and sustainability to any project.
Apart from TPO, the product also features a cellulose non-woven backing. A high performance, commercial grade product, it weighs 373g/m² and is available in a width of 134cm. Depending on the chosen pattern, pattern repeats are available; and, as a special feature, anti-mildew and antimicrobial options are also available. Thanks to Eden TPO, the future of commercial interiors is not just sustainable – it’s inspiring, enriching, and sustainable, one wall at a time.
