Flexiteek is pleased to announce the grant of EU patent EP3071473A1, covering the material composition and 2G technology used for its market-leading Flexiteek 2G synthetic teak.

The new EU patent joins existing patents for material composition in both the USA (US9676925B2) and Sweden (SE538714C2).

Flexiteeks innovative 2G synthetic teak material:

  • cools 30% faster than traditional composite decking,
  • is 35% weight saving compared to rival composite decking systems,
  • is fully recyclable,
  • and is made using a REACH compliant phthalate-free plasticiser.
Tomas Gustafsson, CEO of Flexiteek International AB, commented: "Throughout 2020 we are celebrating 20 years of innovation and are therefore delighted at the timing of the EU patent.

There is a misconception that all synthetic teak is heavy and hot underfoot, this simply isn't true with Flexiteek 2G synthetic teak. We are proud to say that Flexiteek is still the original and the best!"

Flexiteek works with over 100 major boat builders and OEM clients worldwide,?including Hanse Group, Cantiere del Pardo and Sunseeker International.

Flexiteek 2G synthetic teak is available worldwide through a network of over 100 distributors across 48 countries.
