Brianza Plastica is an Italian family business company founded in 1962. It is a leader in the production of fibreglass laminates and stands out in the market for its quality, breadth of range, state-of-the-art technology, reliability and widespread logistics.
The company, thanks to its five production plants in Italy, supplies Glassfibre Reinforced Plastics (GRP) – produced both in continuous and in discontinuous – to satisfy all market requirements. Over the years, this composite material has replaced aluminium, providing manufacturers of commercial and tank container vehicles with an excellent long-term solution. It is lighter, more flexible, and resistant to corrosion.
The reduced weight translates into improved fuel efficiency and increased payload capacity. Its flexibility allows it to absorb shocks and vibrations, reducing the risk of damage. GRP is highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for harsh environments. This makes it more durable and less prone to degradation compared to aluminium, which can corrode over time.
Elycold is a high-quality fibreglass laminate, produced discontinuously with a polymerisation process at ambient temperature that ensures excellent flatness and an extraordinary seamless finish. It is available in widths up to 3,400mm and thickness from 1.0 to 3.6mm.
Elycold Lite represents the ideal solution for those seeking thicker laminates with good rigidity and low specific weight, while retaining all aesthetic details and values. The use of resins and specific microspheres allows increased thickness, without adding weight, decreasing the density of the laminate and providing greater rigidity, contributing to the flatness of the panel and concealing the underlying structures. All these features make it ideal for constructing walls of commercial and temperature-controlled vehicles.
Elyplan is a high-quality GRP laminate available in rolls and sheets, with or without gelcoat, produced by continuous lamination, which ensures the highest possible polymerisation of the composite material. The result is a perfectly flat product, with very tight dimensional tolerance, offering excellent quality at a competitive price. The use of the finest raw materials and a gelcoat made from highly elastic isophthalic resins ensures high resistance to yellowing, impermeability to water vapour and condensation. It is available in widths up to 3,200mm and thickness from 0.8 to 3mm.
Elyplan Extra-Glass is designed for high resistance and light weight with a tensile strength up to 230 Mpa. It combines important features, such as lightness, due to the low specific weight, and high mechanical strength, resulting from the high percentage of glass content. It also makes it a perfect combination suitable for vehicles that require high impact resistance and weight saving.
The extreme flexibility, lightness, resistance to chemicals and yellowing, easy washability of the Elycold and Elyplan fibreglass laminates range make them an excellent choice for covering tank containers and walls of commercial and temperature-controlled vehicles.
Elyplan Fire Perf: a complete range with improved fire behaviour
Brianza Plastica has developed a complete family of fibreglass laminates which responds to the growing market demand for products with improved fire performance, in compliance with various European and global standards.
Top of the range is Elyplan FP 220, a 2.0mm GRP laminate in class B-s1, d0, according to the UNI EN 13501-1 standard, the maximum fire performance for fibreglass laminates. This product is pre-treated on the surface to allow the customer to apply their favourite top coating such as, for example, PU-based paints or decorative wall sheets, with maximum freedom of choice.
According to the UNI EN 13501-1 standard, the letter S (Smoke) indicates the production of smoke in combustion, in a range from 1 to 3: the higher the value, the more smoke is produced. The letter D (Dripping), in a range from 0 to 2, stays for dripping during combustion: a GRP laminate as Elyplan FP 220, class B-s1, d0, does not produce dripping during combustion.
Other products of the range are Elyplan FP 230, 2 mm thick, available in class C-s2, d0 and FP 230, 1.5 mm thick, in class D-s2, d0.
Brianza Plastica designed Elycold and Elyplan fibreglass laminates range as an excellent choice for panels widely used in the commercial vehicle sector and for covering tanks of any size. Both are extremely durable due to their waterproofness and UV-light resistance, long-term surface durability, a low level of yellowing – recorded by aging tests performed with UV-CON and Xenotest – and total impermeability of the panel.
The washable and scratch-resistant surfaces promise easy maintenance and always good quality and final appearance. They are available in a wide range of colors to meet all needs. Furthermore, Brianza Plastica GRP laminates offer benefits not only to the end consumers, but also to manufacturers, by providing a unique solution that drastically reduces installation time.
