Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials Plastic Composites SymaLITE™ Low-weight reinforced thermoplastic
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic

Material Notes: SymaLITE™ is a special low weight reinforced thermoplastic (LWRT) available in both textile and panel formats that exhibits low thermal expansion as well as excellent mechanical and physical properties. With mixed glass and polymer fibers at its core and a combination of different laminated top layers, SymaLITE™ materials allow for the cost-efficient production of three-dimensional components by means of low-pressure molding. Ultra-light and freely shapeable, SymaLITE™ composites are also noise-absorbent and allow for direct facing with either functional or decorative cover layers without the use of adhesives. In panel form, the material can be utilized in place of plywood, thin plies of tropical timber, fiber board, or polymeric rigid foams. When molded into a three-dimensional component, SymaLITE™ can be easily manipulated to exhibit different wall thicknesses at different places on a single component.
