FibreCoat GmbH (Aachen, Germany) and A+ Composites GmbH (Weselberg, Germany), both nominated for the CAMX Award 2025, present AluBas tape, a technical composite tape combining appearance with precise, high-performance functionality.

The tape is the result of a close development partnership. FibreCoat contributed the functional core with its AluBas fibers — aluminum-coated basalt fibers delivering optimal electrical and thermal conductivity. Meanwhile, A+ Composites led further processing through application of its fiber spreading technology and industrially upscaling the tapes into a market-ready composite product.

With its metallic-textured, embossed surface, AluBas tape transforms technical components into visually refined elements that stand apart from conventional tapes. This visual refinement opens new application areas — anywhere technical surfaces must not only perform but also contribute to a product’s design language.

Beyond its distinctive look, the integration of AluBas fibers equips the tape with advanced technical capabilities, including:

• Effective (EMI) shielding to protect sensitive electronics
• Thermal management for improved system reliability
• Easy-to-integrate and lightweight thermoplastic composite material.

AluBas Tape can be easily integrated into existing manufacturing processes. It combines technical functionality with economic processability, often replacing complex multilayer constructions with one high-performance solution.

Companies, developers and designers interested in integrating AluBas can now request samples or discuss custom applications with the development teams at FibreCoat and A+ Composites.
