- Material Properties
Formed from cellulose (plant) fibers, Zelfo processed materials are self-binding and non-toxic, with properties that are modifiable as required by the end user. Bio-binder: Zelfo engineered fiber has multiple uses as a bio-binder in newly developed products as well as a replacement for many currently used synthetic binders. Finished Bio-Composite materials:- Formable: 3D Housings/Cases 2D Sheets/Panels Finish: Textured or smooth; unfinished, matte or gloss surface. Color: Untreated, surface-treated or pigmented throughout; both neutral and vibrant tones are possible. Low/Medium density (0.4 to 0.9 g/cm3): Heat and sound insulation and some structural properties. High density (1.0 to 1.5 g/cm3): Structural properties with insulation properties similar to MDF from thin film light transmitting screens to robust product casings. Water resistance: The hydrophilic nature of Zelfo processed fibers may be modulated, in accordance with application requirements, via the incorporation of internal water-proofing agents and/or surface sealants. Fire resistance: High density Zelfo-based materials have inherently good fire resistance (Bfs/s1 rating according to BS EN 13501). Performance can be enhanced further by the addition of inorganic pigments and/or with fire resistant treatments.
