Ascorium Industries (Königswinter, Germany) is featuring CompoLite, a lightweight and dimensionally stable composite sandwich panel. At its most basic level, these sandwich panels comprise a polyurethane (PUR) foam space between two layers of glass or natural fiber mats that are sprayed with rigid PUR foam, penetrating the sandwich, fully curing and thus stabilizing the CompoLite component (read more about the technology here).

CompoLite offers high thermal and acoustic insulation properties and energy absorption capacity, as well as optimal stiffness and strength. Standard dimensions are 4' × 8'  (longer boards are optional) or 3D molded. Thicknesses include ¼", 1/2", 5/8", ¾" 1", 1 ¼" and 1 ½"; other thicknesses are optional.

CompoLite substrates may be finished with all surfaces commonly used in the marine, RV, furniture and automotive interior trim sectors, and any decorative material is suitable. 

CompoLite Black is Ascorium’s base version available in three variants: Optimized Performane (OP), High Performance (HP) and Extreme Performance (XP).

CompoLite PolyBak is available in the same variants as CompoLite Black. Polybak, is a resin-impregnated “paper” that is naturally bonded to both sides of the CompoLite during the manufacturing process. The PolyBak surface enables direct postprocesses such as lamination or painting.  

CompoLite 3D uses the same technology as the flat boards but are molded into a 3D shape. During the molding process, Ascorium has the option of naturally bonding a UV-stable, highly durable and aesthetical PUR surface.
