Lauramid Hybrid®: Innovative plastic-metal foam combination
The Lauramid Hybrid® material comprises a metal foam that is encapsulated either fully or partially by PA 12C Lauramid® in a pressureless process. On casting, Lauramid® penetrates into the pores of the metal foam component, thus creating an inseparable mechanical compound. No other joining components are required. Lauramid Hybrid® has won the Materialica Design + Technology Award for its innovative properties.
There are two different versions of Lauramid Hybrid®:
- Closed-pore Lauramid Hybrid® for applications where weight savings and rigidity are important
- Open-pore Lauramid Hybrid® for applications where the components need to be extremely rigid
