Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials is considered the world market leader in the production of classic glass-mat-reinforced thermoplastics (GMT). This semi-finished product in panel form was developed primarily as a substitute for metals (steel, aluminum etc.) and its main purchasers can be found in the automotive industry. This is where it is frequently pressed on the industrial scale into complex 3D structural components, although it is also used as panels.

SymaLITE is a special class of lightweight composites that offer low thermal expansion and exceptional mechanical and physical properties. Made from mixed glass and polymer fiber fleeces, SymaLITE is available in rolls and boards, which can be further molded into three-dimensional components using low-pressure molding.Features:Low thermal expansionExcellent mechanical and physical propertiesUltra-light and freely shapeableNoise-absorbentDirect facing with functional or decorative cover layers without adhesivesBenefits:Cost-efficient production of three-dimensional componentsDurable and noise-insulating material for car undershields and engine coversImpact-resistant and non-weathering for outdoor applications in the automotive and construction industrySubstitute for wood-based materials and rigid foams in sandwich constructions for the caravan and commercial vehicle industry.Applications:Automotive and caravan industryConstruction sectorCar headlinersOutdoor applications in the automotive and caravan industrySubstitute for wood-based materials and rigid foams in sandwich constructions for the caravan and commercial vehicle industry.

GMTex® is a high-performance thermoplastic composite material that has been developed for applications requiring exceptional impact resistance, strength, and durability. Made from a polypropylene or polyamide resin matrix reinforced with both woven and randomly laid fibers, these moldable panels are favored as lightweight, high-performance replacements for steel, aluminum, magnesium, and other industrial materials, or alternatively as additional reinforcement for GMT panels.Features:High impact resistanceExceptional strength and durabilityLightweightMulti-layer glass fiber weave technologyReinforced with both woven and randomly laid fibersBenefits:Can replace traditional industrial materials like steel, aluminum, and magnesiumCan be used as an additional reinforcement for GMT panelsIdeal for use in structural vehicle components, such as front ends and bumper bracketsCan withstand high pressure and velocity conditionsApplications:Structural vehicle components, such as front ends and bumper bracketsIndustrial and manufacturing applications that require high impact resistance, strength, and durabilityAdditional reinforcement for GMT panels in various applications
