Trifilon BioLite™
A revolutionary composite that is stronger, lighter and greener than carbon fiber
Trifilon BioLite™ is a revolutionary composite - used in everything from helmets to rally car body works - that is stronger, lighter and greener than carbon fiber.
It's made of a new, natural fiber reinforced bio-composite designed to give your product up to a 20% weight savings, as well as a 20% reduced environmental impact over the lifetime of the product, while maintaining its strength and durability.
BioLite™ uses a polypropylene matrix and comes as granulates for injection molding.
The combination of natural fiber reinforced polypropylene, injection molding and weight savings make this biocomposite very attractive for the automotive industry and other high volume sectors.
