Product Characteristics

Bending Capabilities
The typical minimum bending radius obtainable using Neatflex is 300 mm (12"). If a tighter radius is required it is best to use Neatform Bendy MDF which has a minimum bending radius of 150mm (6"). Bending capabilities of Neatform and Neatflex may vary with the moisture content and temperature and, because it is manufactured from natural raw materials, it may vary slightly from one batch to another.

Water & Fire Resistance
Temperature Conditioning
Neatflex should be acclimatised the same as the surfacing material, adhesives, paints or lacquers to be used. If available, refer to the fabrication guidelines for the surfacing material, adhesives, paints or lacquer.

Cold Conditions
The bending characteristics of Neatflex and other materials such as laminate vary with temperature. Care must be taken, especially in cool conditions, that the materials do not become too brittle to work with.

NeatFlexHandling
Care should be taken when handling Neatflex. The size, weight and flexibility of a full sheet will generally require two people to ensure that the material is not over-flexed or broken.

Storage
Neatflex should be stored flat in such a way that both surfaces are protected. Store in a dry area and avoid direct contact with the floor.

Health and Safety
When working with any timber based product including MDF it is important to take health and safety seriously. Protective goggles and a dust mask are essential. MDF must be cut in a well-ventilated area and all machining tools should be fitted with dust collection systems.
