With more than 50% weight savings compared to plywood, these continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials.

In addition, they enable high processing speeds and, due to their unique technology, can offer up to a 50% reduction in catalyst usage compared with competitive technologies.  

In North America, we are proud to have a long-standing relationship with United Way in more than 50 communities.

Boosts impact strength by up to 50%

Cesa™ Light Additives provided high concentrate UV protection in nonwoven textiles with dosage at 50%

The LubriOne grade offers a kinetic coefficient of friction value (0.108), which is roughly 50% better than that of the traditional material.

The LubriOne grade offers a kinetic coefficient of friction value (0.108), which is roughly 50% better than that of the traditional material.

Specific gains include: •    39 percent reduction in the weight of finished assemblies •    50 percent increase in the number of molded heat sinks produced each day •    20 percent reduction in the total cost to produce each heat sink •    Elimination of secondary finishing operations
