Finished Product Options

.Neatform can be attached directly to a framework or used to surface another material such as bending plywood. Alternatively, using the double skin technique, two sheets of Neatform can be glued together to create freestanding double sided curves, which enable greater design flexibility.
Neatform can be used to fabricate lightweight components. Also, it can be used in conjunction with bending plywood to create components where structure, impact resistance and screw holding ability is important

Ideal Applications

Neatform has a smooth pre sanded (120 grit) surface, which makes it ideal for painting, veneering or laminating. Combine this with the consistency and dimensional stability of the high quality MDF used to make Neatform, it has become the preferred bendable material for many applications including: columns, counter fronts, wavy walls, ceilings, stage and film sets and commercial cabinet making.

Physical Properties

BENDING CAPABILITIES
The typical minimum bending radius obtainable using 6mm Neatform is 150mm / 6". If a tighter radius is required it is best to test before proceeding, because although Neatform will bend with ease, the grooves may “telegraph”, particularly if excessive pressure is applied to the bend or the material has been badly handled or stored. Bending capabilities of Neatform vary with the moisture content and temperature of the MDF and, because it is manufactured from natural raw materials, it may vary slightly from one batch to another. Long sections are trickier to fabricate and may require a fixture or second pair of hands to form and secure. As with many products being used for the first time, it is worthwhile planning out a programme of work and testing critical areas before proceeding with your main project.

WATER & FIRE RESISTANCE
Neatform is not made from fire resistant MDF nor is it recommended for wet applications.
