COMPIBOARD™
COMPIBOARD™ Sandwich laminates
- Mobility means moving masses.
- Reducing the mass to be moved means reducing energy consumption. And automatically leads to an increase in range or, alternatively, to a higher payload!
- The CO₂ balance is further optimized when vehicles are made from recycled or renewable and bio-based materials.
What is COMPIBOARD™?
- COMPIBOARD™ is a technical semi-finished product, a multi-layer sandwich material made from a fiber composite.
- Components are force-absorbing cover layers on the top and bottom of the sandwich and a core in between.
- The cover layers and core materials are individually matched and adapted to the requirements of the application.
The same applies to their surface coating.
Base materials from COMPIBOARD™
- The core materials are based on newly produced or recycled thermoplastic materials or, alternatively, on renewable raw materials.
- Classic EP/UP resins are used, but also those whose carbon is obtained in part from plant-based, renewable raw materials.
- Alternatively, resins are available that are made from 100% plant-based raw materials.
- The carrier materials are glass or carbon fibers and flax and hemp fibers obtained from renewable raw materials.
- Core materials are solid materials, open- and closed-cell foams, porous natural cork and honeycomb structures based on PE, PP and PET.
- Our aim is to use core materials made from recycled material.
USP of COMPIBOARD™
- Individual material structure, surface and finishing.
- Cost-effectiveness even with small batch sizes.
- Provision of validated material parameters for the structural design.
- Customized samples and configurations on request.
- LOW SURFACE WEIGHT – more payload – more range with electric drives – less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions with conventional drives.
- LOW THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY – Low heat transfer coefficient allows for thinner walls.
- HIGH RIGIDITY – high variability in design and function integration.
- HIGH IMPACT and SHOCK RESISTANCE – durable and robust in use.
- HIGH ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY – production process for minimum manufacturing costs.
- EXCELLENT SUSTAINABILITY – Use of bio-based raw materials, recycled materials and recyclable materials.
Available dimensions of COMPIBOARD™
- Core material thickness individually on request, usually in stock in 5 - 40 mm.
- Standard width 2500 mm.
- Standard length 6000 mm, other lengths on request.
