We have strengthened our ties with the automotive industry thanks to our wide portfolio of high-quality core materials!
Road transportation applications aim to reduce structural weight, resulting in significant fuel savings and allowing for a bigger payload, both of which directly impact a vehicle's operational cost (or revenue). All that should especially be considered when it comes to urban vehicles, hybrids, and electric vehicles, because lower weight helps to downsize the powertrain and increase range.
Sandwich technology has significant weight-saving potential in structural and semi-structural applications in cars, trucks, and buses. During production cycles, sandwich core materials must resist high temperatures and pressures. Thermoformability, thermal insulation, noise reduction, compatibility with other materials, and recyclability are additional requirements. Taking all of this into account, our AIREX® and BALTEK® core materials are the right choices for dealing with the demanding needs of the automotive industry.
That's why we've continued to strengthen our ties with the automotive industry by providing a wide portfolio of high-quality core materials with excellent mechanical properties and weight reduction potential. AIREX® PET foams are thermoformable and easy to process, while BALTEK® balsa wood is the most sustainable core material sourced from responsible forestry in two independent world regions.
Our products and technologies manage to do it all; they help reduce the impact on the environment, save resources, and lower operational costs for various automotive parts. Furthermore, AIREX® and BALTEK® sandwich cores are well-suited to high-volume, low-cost part production, allowing designers and engineers to achieve functional requirements in interior and structural components.
