multiflex - bending plywood |
 |
Multiflex is a special plywood that thanks
to its particular composition has a high flexibility.
Multiflex is a very practical solution to produce curved structures,
especially when small radii are required.
Multiflex is a unique product for the ease
with which it can take any curvature and rounded shapes also "S" or circular. Is indicated
in the creation or the cover of columns, bar furniture, boats, caravans, and
interior architecture in general.

Features and advantages
- Cold forming with small radii (with no need for heat forming or water treatment).
- Self-supporting structure eliminates the need for structural skeletons or special supports.
- Complex multi-radii shapes can be quickly and easily prepared.
- The panels can simply be combined and glued together to create different thicknesses (mm. 10, 13, 15, 18, 20, 21, etc.).
- More convenient than other premade wood forms.
- Reduction of material and labour costs to a minimum.
- No need for special equipment or prior experience. |

Composition
Panel consists of two veneer sheets of ceiba (timber plantation wood also called fromager) with
parallel grain and inner core of thin wood or other flexible material.
From 3mm to 9mm thickness the composition is 3-layers, over the composition is 5-layers.
|
|
Gluing (EN 314-2)
The bonding of the layers is made by heating with special thermosetting adhesives, normally
Class 1, for indoor and dry uses.
Upon request it can be produced in Class 2, for uses in damp indoor environments and
outside covered.
Emission of formaldehyde (EN 1084) within the limits of Class A,
(limit up to 3.5 mg/m2h), equivalent to the class E1 (most commercially known)
according to the directive German DIBT.

Usage and storage instructions
- Store the panels lying flat in a clean, shaded, dry place.
- Panels should be transported on a hard flat surface. Single panels can
be rolled, but should not remain in this position for long periods.
- Do not expose the panel to sudden changes in humidity, temperature, and also protect it from
sunlight.
- Glue the panels while they are brought into the desired shape. When the glue is dry
panel will retain its shape.
- Laminate or veneer can be applied during the initial curvature, or in a second step.
- Any wood glue can be used. |
