| MultiQ is a product line of thermoplastic composites in panel form whose specific properties make them particularly suitable as an environmental alternative to plywood in outdoor applications. However, coated with special laminate surfaces, MultiQ can also be used in interiors as an alternative to wood-based panels (HDF and MDF). The MultiQ product line is a modular system. The composition of the glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) sandwich panels offers plenty of scope for variation and permits design to customer specification. The environment-friendly composite panel can be worked like plywood – i.e. nailed, sawn and drilled without splintering – but is far superior to the classic plywood formwork panel in terms of its mechanical properties. It possesses high rigidity with a low weight per unit area, is weather-resistant and does not rot, remains resistant to impacts even at low temperatures, is insensitive to the effects of moisture and dimensionally stable, doesn’t swell or gain in weight, is resistant to all the chemicals encountered on construction sites and achieves a high quality of concrete surface. Furthermore, the innovative plastic panel features a much longer service life with significantly lower cleaning and care needs and can also be recycled with ease.
