Recoflex®
Recoflex® - the latest material developed by BSW
Recoflex® is an innovative elastic particle board from 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 molded products 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 molded products 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
