More details

Our innovative laminating and spreading techniques enable the efficient production of high-quality natural fiber composites. Natural fibers are precisely impregnated with thermoplastic materials such as PLA and other ecological and bio-based plastics.

The subsequent pressing process produces resilient, lightweight and sustainable composite components. The materials also remain malleable and are ideal for a wide range of technical applications.

Typical areas of application are interior components in cars such as interior door trims or trunk components. Natural fiber composites offer an ecological alternative with high functional and design potential.

Possible applications

• Composite with natural fiber reinforcement
• Interior components for cars
• Interior door trim
• Trunk

Questions & Answers

What are natural fiber composites?
Natural fiber composites are composite materials made from natural fibers and thermoplastics such as PLA. They are lightweight, sustainable and offer good mechanical properties for technical applications.
How are natural fiber composites produced?
Natural fibers are evenly impregnated with bio-based thermoplastics using laminating and spreading techniques and then pressed. This creates stable, yet malleable components.
What are natural fiber composites suitable for in vehicle construction?
They are often used for car interiors, including interior door trims and trunk components. The materials reduce weight and improve the ecological balance.
