Strong Constitution

Renewable softwood fibers and water are fused through intense heat to form Maplex—a tough, yet flexible, wall and surfacing material from EHV-Weidmann. The chemical-, formaldehyde-, bleach-, and petroleum-free product can be recycled with garden waste or with heavy paper products. Both medium- and high-density versions are pliable, allowing for creative stand-alone partitions or curved wall applications that can be punched, drilled, laminated, stained, or coated. EHV-Weidmann Industries, 800.242.6748; www.maplexmaterial.com.
