Panel flexible - Technical specifications
Technical specifications
Structure: Top layer is composed of strips of approximately 1 to 3 mm veneer of end grain wood and wood with the grain, glued crosswise, of approximately 2 mm thickness, glued onto one side of a bendable substrate
Length: Maximum length 3000 mm, tolerance sawn 0.2 - 0.3 %
Width: Maximum width 1250 mm, tolerance sawn 0.2 - 0.3 %
Thickness: Maximum thickness 12 mm, tolerance sanded ± 0.2 - 0.3 mm
Bendable plywood: Bendable plywood is available with the grain running lengthwise or crosswise, depending on the direction in which the Plexwood is to be bended, choose the appropriate substrate
Minimum radiuses:
Panel flexible A: ± 2400 x 1200 x 7 (cross-grained) bendable plywood + 2 mm Plexwood, direction of bending over (l) 2400 mm, l x w x t, the minimum radius is 400 mm
Panel flexible B: ± 1200 x 2400 x 7 (long-grained) bendable plywood + 2 mm Plexwood, direction of bending over (l) 1200 mm, l x w x t, the minimum radius is 400 mm
Panel flexible C: ± 1200 x 2400 x 7 (cross-grained) bendable plywood + 2 mm Plexwood, direction of bending over (l) 2400 mm, l x w x t, the minimum radius is 1000 mm
Panel flexible D: ± 2400 x 1200 x 7 (long-grained) bendable plywood + 2 mm Plexwood, direction of bending over (l) 1200 mm, l x w x t, the minimum radius is 1000 mm
Bendable substrate options: The standard substrate is 7 mm bendable plywood, a substrate that is more stable than bendable mdf, but that is less suitable for achieving sharp curves, whereas bendable mdf is less stable than bendable plywood but is more suitable for achieving sharp curves when pre-curved with for instance a vacuum-press
Squareness: ± 1 mm per meter
Density: Depending on the type of substrate 750 kg/m³ (mdf)
Wood properties: Wood is not static, has a high electrical resistance (1 - 1000 MΩ), and a small heat conductivity (0.11 - 0.16 W/m²K) of which the effect is that it slows down the spreading of fire (source: Wood Vademecum; Wood Centre Foundation [Hout Vademecum; Stichting Centrum Hout], Almere 2001, pages 46, 48)
