Transport

Typical sectors where it might be a good reason to consider Hybrix™ lightweight material are automotive, shipbuilding, aircraft and train industry.

Hybrix™ benefits for transportation industry applications:

• 30-75% lower weight while still the bending stiffness is preserved for panels and beam structures
• Lightweight solutions for fuel consumption and efficiency
• High bending stiffness per weight unit
• Proper formability properties
• Good dent resistance
• Sufficient in-plane heat distribution
• Proper process-ability using standard processes and tools normally used for sheet metals.
• Suitable for high volume production
• Lower CO₂ footprint
• Cost competitive with other material with weight reduction solutions

Typical application areas:

• Structural components
• Packaging cases/containers/boxes
• Aircraft interior components, e.g. trolleys
• Panels and doors
• Underbody components

Product examples:

Seat structures, Battery pack containers, Aircraft trolleys, Body panels, Car underbodies and Doors.
