Flexform’s Low Density board is a natural fiber composite sheet made from polypropylene and natural fiber. It acts as a lightweight substitute for fiberglass reinforced plastics. FlexForm is advertised for automotive purposes and office products.
RESOURCES
The natural fibers include jute, kenaf, hemp, and flax. Natural fibers, that make up half of FlexForm LD, are renewable resources cultivated on a number of continents included North America.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
FlexForm’s natural fiber composites (NFCs) are recycle in-house and after use. The composite fibers do not decompose once joined with polypropylene, though the final boards do not have any negative effects on recycling streams. The lightweight materials together consume less energy to manufacture than their alternative glass-fiber sheets.
HUMAN HEALTH
Natural fiber composites emit zero VOCs, carcinogens, or toxins in manufacturing and in use. In addition, they do not off-gas formaldehyde, benzene or styrene in their lifetime.
