The ingredients, as well as the material on which they are prepared, have a key role to play in creating a thoroughly high-quality meal. HI-MACS® is a non-porous, dirt-repellent and hygienic surface, and combined with its Thermalcure-technology, results in the best surface-quality for working with food and everyday household chemicals.

HI-MACS® does not have Crystalline Silica as an ingredient nor is it used in any part of the manufacturing process.

Aluminium trihydroxide, the main component of HI-MACS®, is a resource-efficient bi-product of Bauxite (aluminium production). This allows a valuable raw material, that would otherwise be discarded without being used, to be utilised in a meaningful way (“Second life concept”).

Extensive studies – within LG Hausys’ own laboratories as well as tests carried out by other renowned independent institutions – have shown that the HI-MACS® material itself, as well as the cured adhesive, are completely free from formaldehyde and emissions. HI-MACS® has been awarded the Greenguard Gold Indoor Air Quality Certificate.

The production of this solid surface material is marked by an excellent energy balance. In recent years, the company was very successful in achieving ambitious goals in terms of waste reduction and water conservation. In addition, HI-MACS® plants in Cheongju (Korea) and Atlanta (USA) meet all environmental standards.

The material allows for virtually waste-free processing. In addition, HI-MACS® installations are extremely strong and durable. They can easily be renewed to their original appearance, meaning they don’t have to be replaced, thus giving a positive long-term environmental footprint.

Numerous internationally recognised certificates show the strong focus of LG Hausys on environmental issues. Without exception, all HI-MACS® products are manufactured in accordance with environmental standard ISO:14001 and are NSF and Greenguard Certified. LG Hausys also voluntarily submits to regular environmental audits and energy consumption analyses, publishing the results afterwards.
