Foamlite® – lightweight and durable plastic sheets
The closed-pore foamed material Foamlite® was developed especially for applications in which construction materials need to be lightweight but also feature excellent mechanical stability. This opens up a wide range of possibilities in lightweight design.
Foamlite® lightweight boards are nearly 30% lighter than comparable compact sheets. Depending on the application, the lightweight plastic sheet saves on materials, conserves resources and is easy to handle. This provides new possibilities in the design of your application, as well as economic advantages.
New: Foamlite® bicolor
Two-colored lightweight sheet can be easily equipped with lettering
Expanding the portfolio of the Foamlite® lightweight product family with a two-colored sheet. The lightweight plastic sheet is now also available with a different colored core.
Foamlite® P
Foamlite® P is a PP-C-based lightweight construction material. With a density of 0.65 g/cm³, Foamlite® P offers clear weight advantages over a sheet made of compact polypropylene at 0.915 g/cm³. The material also has an excellent combination of toughness, high rigidity, strength and chemical resistance. The surface is optionally available with a smooth finish or with a fine grain.
Step safety
Foamlite® P „cubic grain“
Foamlite® P is available in a slip-resistant design with the special "cubic grain" surface structure. The three-dimensional, cube-shaped grain ensures a mechanical frictional connection between floor and shoe. The slip-resistant property of Foamlite® "cubic grain" is tested according to the following guidelines:
- DIN 51097: Testing of floor coverings; determination of the anti-slip properties; wet loaded barefoot areas
- DIN 51130: Testing of floor coverings; determination of the anti-slip properties; work rooms and work areas with slip risk
Contact with food
Foamlite® P FG blue
Foamlite® P FG blue is a special material for the food industry. It meets the requirements of EU Regulation 10/2011 – Plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food – as well as the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Its UV resistance makes Foamlite® P FG blue suitable for use in industrial food areas with UV-based hygiene systems. The material is available in blue (RAL 5010). Other colors available on request.
Protection against electrostatic risks
Foamlite® P 702 ESD
We have developed Foamlite® P 702 ESD especially for areas where there is a need for controlled conductance of electrostatic charge and low weight at the same time. High voltage pulses can arise with uncontrolled electrostatic discharge and destroy sensitive equipment, components and workpieces. With Foamlite® P 702 ESD , these components are protected by controlled conductance of the electrostatic charge.
Foamlite® G
Foamlite® G is a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)-based lightweight plastic sheet. With a density of 0.75 g/cm³, Foamlite® G has a weight advantage of over 20 percent compared to compact polyethylene at 0.95 g/cm³. The material boasts a superior surface quality, is optionally available with a smooth or grained finish and is very easy to process. Foamlite® G can easily be welded with polyethylene (PE).
