SymaLITE®
SymaLITE is a special class of lightweight composites that offer low thermal expansion and exceptional mechanical and physical properties. Made from mixed glass and polymer fiber fleeces, SymaLITE is available in rolls and boards, which can be further molded into three-dimensional components using low-pressure molding.Features:Low thermal expansionExcellent mechanical and physical propertiesUltra-light and freely shapeableNoise-absorbentDirect facing with functional or decorative cover layers without adhesivesBenefits:Cost-efficient production of three-dimensional componentsDurable and noise-insulating material for car undershields and engine coversImpact-resistant and non-weathering for outdoor applications in the automotive and construction industrySubstitute for wood-based materials and rigid foams in sandwich constructions for the caravan and commercial vehicle industry.Applications:Automotive and caravan industryConstruction sectorCar headlinersOutdoor applications in the automotive and caravan industrySubstitute for wood-based materials and rigid foams in sandwich constructions for the caravan and commercial vehicle industry.
