Correctional facilities can't afford dinnerware that becomes a security threat. MaxFlex is engineered from a proprietary polymer blend that flexes rather than breaks — it can't be sharpened, can't be fractured into shards, and tears with a dull edge if forced. If melted, it does not harden when cooled, eliminating another common weapon-making concern in secure environments. Reusable, dishwasher safe, BPA-free, and FDA approved, MaxFlex is trusted in hundreds of correctional facilities worldwide — across prisons, jails, detention centers, and secure institutional settings at every security level.

MaxFlex is made from a proprietary polymer blend that can't be fashioned into a weapon. It can't be broken into shards, can't be sharpened, and is too flexible to be used for stabbing or puncturing. If forced, it tears with a dull edge rather than snapping into dangerous pieces. This makes it ideal across all security levels where officer and staff safety is a priority. MaxFlex is trusted in hundreds of correctional facilities worldwide.
MaxFlex is a proprietary blend of thermoplastic elastomer and hardeners, engineered to optimize the tradeoff between flexibility and durability. The material is BPA-free, FDA approved, and withstands temperatures from -40 to 200°F. If melted, it does not harden when cooled — eliminating a common weapon-making concern in corrections environments.
MaxFlex is safer than copolymer and equally durable in daily institutional use. The added flexibility means it resists breaking, chipping, and cracking, and it can't be turned into a weapon the way harder materials potentially can. For facilities looking to improve safety without sacrificing everyday usability, MaxFlex bridges the gap.
MaxFlex is available as a full dinnerware line including compartmentalized meal trays, segregation trays, self-locking trays, dinner plates, bowls, tumblers, cups, mugs, spoons, sporks, forks, and teaspoons. If your facility currently uses copolymer products, most are also available in MaxFlex.
MaxFlex is available in several stock colors through our online store. If you need a specific color not currently offered in a particular product, we can produce it with a setup fee. This is useful for facilities that color-code by housing unit, security level, or dietary requirements.
