For the eighth time, GRP specialist, LAMILUX Composites, will present its glass fibre-reinforced plastics at IAA Transportation.
Decades of experience in the commercial vehicle and bus industry, as well as quality made in Germany, characterise the 100-year-old family-owned company. Their GRP solutions pave the way for the sustainable mobility of the future: light, stable and robust. Whether in the side wall, roof or floor, LAMILUX Composites offer a wide range of options for lightweight construction of commercial vehicles, buses and last-mile vehicles.
LAMILUX Sunsation, reported to be the world’s first most UV-resistant GRP face sheet, is the long-awaited revolution in the field of fibre composite plastics, completely redefining the standard for exterior applications and broadening the horizon with regards to image, appearance, care and value, and making investments look like, new even after decades in the sun.
Three demonstration models will be on show at the LAMILUX stand.
For trucks and last-mile vehicles, this is the impact-resistant, robust material High Impact with AntiBac surface, the non-slip floor covering AntiSlip for interiors and LAMILUX Woven Roving S or LAMILUX Woven Roving Impact, which protect the underbody from stone chippings. When installed in the roof, the world’s first LAMILUX Sunsation reveals the advantages of the innovative gelcoat technology with 20 times better UV resistance than the gelcoats currently available on the market. LAMILUX Composites also enables translucent roofs for daylight intake during loading and unloading.
In the case of buses, LAMILUX demonstrates its flair for design: LAMIfoamtex with its soft-touch surface, Composite Floor, which resembles laminate flooring, and LAMIGraph, for interior cladding, are the proven materials of choice here. The manufacturer also presents a robust and durable material, LAMILUX Woven Roving X-treme, for use on rooftops and side walls. LAMILUX AntiSlip non-slip flooring, which is also available as a visually attractive LAMILUX Anti Slip Style variant, once again scores points in the luggage compartment.
There will also be a distinct focus on lightweight construction, sustainability, robustness, function and hygiene. Installed in a wide range of vehicle types, LAMILUX Composites savea considerable amount of weight while still producing extremely robust superstructures. In sandwich or prefabricated constructions, this composite material sustainably reduces the fuel consumption of the vehicles. High strength and stability create robust constructions that ensure that heavy mechanical stress in daily traffic leaves less traces on the composite materials.
The high damage tolerance also leads to a longer value retention of the vehicle, lower repair costs and easier repair and maintenance. Special materials with additional benefits, such as the non-slip LAMILUX AntiSlip or LAMILUX AntiBac with antibacterial nanosilver surface, round off the product portfolio.
