Light Weight

In today’s environmental push to lower carbon emissions and therefore carbon footprints, lighter weight materials are being considered and utilised in many transportation applications to assist in achieving this goal.

Apart from the obvious weight saving attributes, these materials can offer other major advantages such as higher impact resistance, better aesthetics, higher rigidity, better fire ratings & choice of colours and finishes.

As an example, we offer transparent clear and tinted polycarbonate glazing and polycarbonate mirror in lieu of traditional glass, with a weight saving of 50% on equivalent thickness materials with the option of surface abrasion resistance equivalent to glass. As a further benefit, all our polycarbonate products are virtually unbreakable. These products are currently being used in glazing applications for automobiles, buses, trains, heavy equipment, etc.

We also have extremely lightweight products that are used in the boating industry to add value to any project.
