- Flax wall coreThese solid flax panels are used in the construction industry for the interiors of buildings, for example, in doors, kitchen worktops and partition walls. Flax is light-weight and fire-retardant. It has a tough structure and does not burn, but smoulders instead. It also has high insulation and dB values.
- Flax wallpaperFlax offers the opportunity to produce nonwovens with outstanding properties such as extreme tear-resistance, durability, and robustness at a relatively low production cost. This wallpaper high tear-and UV-resistance, a soft touch, as well as good insulating properties. It does not require a supporting material and can be applied directly to the wall with the specially developed glue for flax wallpaper.
- Flax Fibre String Instruments As A Case Study In Biobased Material InnovationThe Belgian start-up Atelier Duerinck produces string instruments such as cellos and violins using flax fibre composite rather than traditional tonewoods or carbon fibre.…
- FlaxFlax are natural fibres used in the manufacturing of technical textiles and nonwovens and characterized by high durability, robustness and great tensile strength.
- 100% Biobased Flax panelThese panels are made of flax fibers and a biobased glue, which makes it a 100% biobased material. The panels can be used for all kinds of interior use. It is an indispensable link in the chain of the flax industry because it uses its by-products and therefore is no waste of natural resources. Sizes up to 2500 x 150 mm, thickness 16 mm to 50 mm, density 320 kg/m3 up to 560 kg/m3.

The mechanical properties of these lightweight bio-based materials are high stiffness, strength, vibration and noise absorbing.
- Flax Oil PaintFlax oil paint or Linseed oil paint are paints with a linseed oil binder pressed from the plant's seeds. Because this type of paint is made from renewable and often mineral resources, it is biodegradable. The 'one component' lacquer consists of biobased oil as well as water.
- Flax-reinforced composite materialsStudio Bart Vernooij is a fresh design studio focussing on material research and product development, often incorporating new materials and production techniques in these products. At the moment the main focus is on the development and application of sustainable alternatives to fibreglass in composite materials. This done with the use of natural fibres, like flax, and partially biobased resins.

- BiotexBiotex are a series of natural fibre reinforcements/biocomposite materials, including yarns, tapes, fabrics/textiles and preconsolidated sheets. The standard product range is based on flax, flax/PP and commingled flax/PLA. Components can be made from the fabrics or tapes using conventional moulding techniques. Biotex are recyclable and in some cases fully biodegradable.
- HypermatBIOFIBIX supplies flax fabrics for lightweight composite applications. Established OEMs across automotive, sport & leisure, and construction are increasingly turning to flax for its performance, natural appeal, and sustainability. BIOFIBIX is a spin-off from KU Leuven, where both the fibre treatment and cost-efficient manufacturing process were developed.
