Richlite is made from FSC® certified 100% post-consumer recycled paper.
First, the pre-dyed paper is run through a resin bath and run vertically to dry. The paper is then re-rolled and cut into sheets. Cut sheets are stacked, heated and hydraulically pressed. Heat sets the resin to create the durability Richlite is known for.
- Sheets can be pressed from 1/8” to 3” thick.
- Uses EcoBind™ NAUF thermoset resin.
- Excess resin is used in a catalytic converter as an energy source for the machinery. This makes for a 99% non-emitting process.
- FSC® Certified
- GreenGuard Certified
- NSF Certified Options
- Contributes to LEED® Credits

Care & Maintenance
Routine Cleaning and Upkeep
- Wipe up with a damp sponge and natural dish soap on a regular basis.
- Howard Naturals Wood Cleaner and Polish can be used to renew the luster.
- We recommend using the Howard Naturals once a month or even less frequently, because repeated applications may create a wax buildup on the countertop.
Removing Stains
- Generally speaking, Richlite resists stains quite well.
- With stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive household cleaner.
Repairing Scratches and Burn Marks
- We recommend the use of cutting boards, hot pads and trivets to protect the surface from potential damage.
- Light scratch marks and burn marks can be refinished using a Scotch-Brite® pad (#7447/Red Color) on an orbital sander.
- In order to avoid lighter areas with a countertop section, lightly refinish the entire section.
General Precautions
- Avoid prolonged contact with raw meat juice (liver) and high-alkaline fruits, vegetables, or soaps.
- Richlite's lighter color tops are more likely to show stains than darker colors.
- Cover the surface with a protective sheet when installing tile around countertop areas. Grout will affect the color.
- Avoid using bleach products or abrasive powdered cleaners. It is good to avoid using the abrasive side of sponges as this may also scratch the surface of a Richlite countertop.
