The Eco-Core Multiflex Bending Plywood is a flexible plywood.  It is a very practical solution for the production of curved structures, especially when small radii are required.

Multiflex Bending Plywood is easy to use and can practically take on any required shape.  Once it is glued, veneered or laminated, the Multiflex Bending Ply will hold the desired shape.

Environment

The Multiflex Bending Plywood is manufactured in Italy from plantation grown Ceiba. It is rated E1 for formaldehyde emission.

Maintenance:

  • 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 be stored in this manner for long periods.
  • Glue the panels while fixed in desired shape.  After the glue dries, the panel will maintain its shape.  HPL or veneer can be attached during initial shaping or in a separate finishing stage.
  • Any wood glue can be used.
