Imago

What is Imago?
Imago™ is made through a patented process in which fabric is encapsulated in a high-performance PETG resin. This is a modified version of PET, which is widely used for soft drink bottles. Through the outstanding properties of PETG, Imago offers excellent performance attributes, combining very high strength with amazing flexibility. It has superior performance attributes: It will not shatter, Impact resistant, Lighter than glass, Can be bent, punched, drilled or sawed, Bonds easily using solvents or adhesives, Can be pressure-formed as well as heat bent, Resistant to chemicals, and Scratch resistant.

Application and Fabrication

Imago inspires the imagination, with almost limitless applications from floor to ceiling. From lighting, backsplashes, and cabinet doors to ceiling panels, furniture, and moveable walls – the possibilities are endless.

It can be easily formed and fabricated using basic shop tools. Imago can be laser cut, sawed, drilled, perforated, bolted, glued, cable hung, etc. Its edges can be finished – sanded, buffed, polished. Your local millworker can easily work with it. Incorporate innovative weave structures to create a hard surface material that is both distinctive and timeless. Imago combines the strength and flexibility of resin with the translucency, texture, and color of textiles.
