  • Technology

  • Composites Panels comprised of Fiberglass, Polypropylene resin and Polymer Scrim facings
  • 50% Lighter Than Lauan Plywood – Assembly friendly, producing increased design options
  • Not Affected by Moisture – Does not promote mold or mildew, requires No special handling
  • 3x better insulated than Lauan Plywood
  • Porous – Can easily draw air through material, promotes high mechanical bond with adhesives
  • Sound and Energy Absorbing – Quieter interior, improved ride, lower dynamic stresses
  • Impact and Puncture Resistant – Delivers greater durability, longer life, reduced repairs
  • Compressible – Requires less processing pressure to bond or fasten assemblies
  • Physical Property Directionality – Panel’s length will have ~1-1.5x more stiffness than width
  • Thermal expansion – Similar to Aluminum Tubing and Fiberglass sheet
  • Flame spread ratings – Passes ASTM E84 (Class B) and FMVSS 302 Standards
  • Certified Formaldehyde Free – Exceeds California Air Quality Compliance Standard
  • Made in USA – Federal Transit Administration “Buy America” Compliant
  • Application
  • Produced in 2.0, 2.7, 3.6, 4.4 and 5.2mm thicknesses – Tolerance (-0.0mm, + 0.6mm)
  • Available up to 76″ in width and any length that can be commercially shipped
  • Adhesive Friendly – Promotes high bond strength and more continuous laminate structure
  • True Appearance of Embossed Décor Films – Matches Interior’s Batten Strips and Seam Tape
  • Long Lengths and Custom Widths Available – Reduces scrap, horizontal seams, offers two-tone Interiors option
  • “A” & “B” Sides Identified with Color – Reduces waste at assembly time (White Surface = Highest Consistency)
  • Drop-in Solution – Requires NO special equipment, uses existing assembly designs and materials
  • Minimal Directionality – Grain Not an Issue; Easily routed, trimmed, sawed, sheared and finished
  • Elimination of quality sorting and special pre-processing related with Lauan plywood
  • Less seams and frame read-through due to lower assembly pressures and Wider Panels
  • Longer product life and reduced warranty issues – Higher residual value and Customer Satisfaction
