HYLITE®

HYLITE® is an aluminium composite panel with a polypropylene core and aluminium cover layers. HYLITE®, the world’s thinnest composite panel with thicknesses of 1.2 mm and 2 mm, offers another special feature: the panel’s core material can provide a hinge function, which withstands repeated bending without damage. This function is achieved by milling grooves at the same position into both outer aluminium skins. RWTÜV testing has shown that the hinge application is unimpaired even after 80.000 bends. The sheets are used in various industrial applications such as transport boxes, interior wall claddings, partitions, high-end packaging, and bicycle mudguards – wherever lightweight construction, durability, and formability are essential.
