Talk:Ebonol (material)

Confusion
The two things discussed in this article are completely different - one is an artificial wood-like material, the other is a chemical dip for blackening copper-containing items. --66.32.55.78 01:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The previous definition had obviously been taken verbatim from one of several inter-referenced sites.
 * I've tried to discriminate the difference between the material and the process...given that I could find no definitive reference for a patented or common-law definition of Ebonol the material.
 * Can anyone out there find something better??

Apparently the copper-dip-process-stuff was moved out at some point. I'm marking this issue as ✅. --BjKa (talk) 17:52, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Richlite
I can find surprisingly little authoritative info about Ebonol. Most sources are simply quoting each other. According to Edensaw Woods,
 * Richlite is a very versatile material that is made from 100% recycled paper. Sheets of paper are layered and thermoset with a resin then pressed into solid panels of various thickness and colors. Heat and water resistant, this exceptional material can be used inside the home or workplace or outside as structural cladding. Fully machinable, Richlite can be drilled, tooled and CNC'd. Richlite is a sustainable choice for designers and architects. (http://www.edensaw.com/MainSite/Store1/Store/CategoryHome/736)

This makes it sound like Ebonol but using recycled paper. --Weeb Dingle (talk) 17:50, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Relation to paper composite panels
I can't quite figure a way to mention paper composite panels, the only WP article that mentions Richlite. --Weeb Dingle (talk) 17:54, 25 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I added a "see also" section, with a link to Richlite, which currently redirects to paper composite panels. However, the article is so stubby, the old copper-dip-process stuff already having been merged somewhere else, the remains should probably just be merged into the much more in-depth paper composite panels, and any further improvement done there. --BjKa (talk) 17:52, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
