30% Lighter Plastic Sheets
Roechling has developed the closed-pore foamed material Foamlite® P especially for applications in which construction materials need to have a very low weight and have a high level of mechanical stability. This opens up a wide range of possibilities in lightweight design.
Foamlite® P sheets are nearly 30 per cent lighter than comparable compact sheets. Depending on the application, the lightweight plastic sheet saves on materials, conserves resources and is easy to handle. This gives you
- completely new possibilities in the design of your application and in dimensioning
- economic advantages
