Panel flexible - Technical specifications
Technical specifications
Structure: Top layer is composed of strips of approximately 0.04 to 0.12" veneer of end grain wood and wood with the grain, glued crosswise, of approximately 0.08" thickness, glued onto one side of a bendable substrate
Length: Maximum length 118.11", tolerance sawn 0.2 - 0.3 %
Width: Maximum width 49.21", tolerance sawn 0.2 - 0.3 %
Thickness: Maximum thickness 0.47", 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: ± 94.49 x 47.24 x 0.28 (cross-grained) bendable plywood + 0.08" Plexwood, direction of bending over (l) 94.49", l x w x t, the minimum radius is 15.75"
Panel flexible B: ± 47.24 x 94.49 x 0.28 (long-grained) bendable plywood + 0.08" Plexwood, direction of bending over (l) 47.24", l x w x t, the minimum radius is 15.75"
Panel flexible C: ± 47.24 x 94.49 x 0.28 (cross-grained) bendable plywood + 0.08" Plexwood, direction of bending over (l) 94.49" , l x w x t, the minimum
Panel flexible D: ± 94.49 x 47.24 x 0.28 (long-grained) bendable plywood + 0.08" Plexwood, direction of bending over (l) 47.24", l x w x t, the minimum radius is 39.37"
Bendable substrate options: The standard substrate is 0.28" 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: ± 0.04" per 39.37"
Density: Depending on the type of substrate 750 kg/m³ (mdf)
Wood properties: wood is not static, has a high electrical resistance (1 - 1000 MW), 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)
Size conversion: Plexwood uses the metric system in all formal communication. No rights can be derived from size conversions to the imperial system. Plexwood converts sizes for your convenience only
