Hylite

HYLITE is a new composite aluminium panel with an aluminium look and a polypropylene core. Its great appeal concerns the extremely reduced weight (65% lighter compared to steel, 30% lighter compared to aluminium) combined with a considerable flexural strength.

HYLITE offers a wide range of processing options. One unique feature, however, is the ability to 3-D form the material in the conventional way. In addition, it is possible to achieve almost all surface effects by powder coating. There are no limits imposed on your creativity.

The range of application is diversified:

• Office Supply - design of office articles
• Folders

• CD sleeves
• Notebook Holders

• Cassettes
• Lightboxes

HYLITE products have diversified features and benefits:

• Ideal material-weight radio: (65% lighter than conventional solid steel resp. 30% lighter than solid aluminium, providing the same flexural strength. Easy handling possible.
• Dimensional stability at temperatures of up to 165^oC which allows powder coating (with low temperature lacquer systems) in order to achieve various surface effects.
• HYLITE provides similar properties as aluminium and can be processed equally using the same kind of machines.
• The HYLITE core can be used as a hinge (tested by RWTUV).
• HYLITE can be easily recycled. By means of cryogenic milling the two components aluminium and plastic can be separated and reused.
