Recoflex®
Recoflex® - the latest material developed by BSW
Recoflex® is a combination of wood, cork, latex and polyurethane
binders. Although consisting essentially of other materials, the structure
of Recoflex® is similar to that of BSW’s brand material Recoflex®. The combination of wood and elastomers has created a material whose elastic and strength properties open up interesting areas of application. Recoflex® is ideal for manufacturing rounded moulding parts for the furniture industry and also for use in flooring systems.
Up to now, BSW has produced Recoflex® in two bulk densities according to the specific focal application. Thanks to its material structure, Recoflex® can also be given a spherical or 3D form, resulting in extreme cases in semi-global shapes.
Material Properties
Custom modification of Recoflex® refers not only to the binders but also to bulk density, further processing and other additives. The development of a Recoflex® variation can focus on various material properties:
| • Material density • Elasticity • Stiffness • Resilience • Force reduction | • Compression set module • Compression hardness • Shock absorption • Tensile strength • Dimensional stability | • Ultimate elongation • Propagation elongation • Dimensioning • Shaping • Colouring | • Lamination • Residual compression • Static permanent load • Load peaks • Antimicrobial properties • Impact sound improvement |
Applications
– Rounded, lightweight moulded parts for furniture production, interior fittings, exhibition construction– Porous fillers for elements and surfaces used in airborne sound insulation
– Impact sound insulation in flooring systems
– Elastic components in sports surfaces and floors
