LAMILUX of Germany provides sophisticated, tried and tested high-tech materials with fibre-reinforced plastic sheets produced in a continuous manufacturing process. They are used both on the inside and outside of buses. The very lightweight and equally extremely strong material forms the outer surface layers of roofs and walls. Other product variants also make it possible to cover interior walls and coat floors.
In the form of LAMILUX India Pvt. Ltd., the German producer has had its own company in India since 2009, which also runs a private warehouse in Bhiwandi near Mumbai. Here, the focus is not just on sales but also on technical support for the processing of GRP surface layers.
The material LAMILUX high-strength X-treme has been especially developed for extreme commercial vehicle applications exposed to very high mechanical loads. Thanks to its resistance to hail impact, UV radiation and weathering influences, the material is excellently suitable for side wall elements.
The LAMILUX fabric 48% Gelcoat is particularly suitable for use on the bus roof. It has excellent UV and weather resistance, thanks to its sealing with a gel coat. Although the outline of the fabric structure is reduced to provide a more pleasant appearance, the mechanical strength is increased, thanks to fabric reinforcement. This results in less linear expansion on the roof surface.
The newly-developed, fiber-reinforced plastic LAMILUX Graph enables users to create aesthetically appealing wall panelling. Besides extensive scope for design due to a wide choice in decoration, this composite also impresses as a result of its outstanding mechanical properties, which make it easy to process. Such qualities include its flexural and tensile strength and extremely low surface abrasion. A key, positive product feature is its high-grade glaze.
Unlike decorative plywood products, LAMILUX Graph does not soak up any water it comes into contact with. As a result, condensation build-up doesn’t affect the material and its appearance in any way.
LAMIfoamtex is a three-layer structured composite material that can be individually designed according to customer needs and product requirements. On top of that, it also involves great savings potential for the vehicle manufacturer.
LAMIfoamtex is much lighter, more environmentally friendly and sustainable than conventional solutions that need to be glued by customers themselves in a time-consuming process. The high-quality soft-touch surfaces guarantee maximum functionality combined with high design standards.
LAMILUX Anti Slip is an extremely strong, lightweight construction element that makes it possible to construct vehicle floors that weigh less. The product benefits are slip resistance and noise protection. The rolling noise during loading and unloading is minimised, thanks to anti-slip, meaning that sound insulation values below 60 dB(A) can be achieved. The material is used as a floor coating in various industries.
