The Path to Sustainable Future
ICOM Advanced Materials GmbH has many years of know-how in the production of materials based on wood and natural fibers, including own moldings with following simply possibility of surface lamination with leather, fabric or foil and by pressure, vacuum and foaming technology.
Manufacture of wood fiber mats
Wood fiber mats are the basis for various components of the automotive industry.
Considerable suppliers to the automotive industry process these mats.
Raw materials for the production of our mats are mostly wood and formaldehyde-free phenol and acrylic resins.
The mats are about 80 % wood and 20 % synthetic fibers and binders. Production can choose between a weight of 800 g/m² and 2.800 g/m² and a width of max. 2.550 mm.
Manufacturing of
natural fiber mats
Natural fiber mats are manufactured from the raw materials hemp, flax, kenaf, and synthetic fibers. They consist of about 50% natural fibers and 50% of synthetic fibers and can produce between a weight of 800 g / m² and 2800 g / m² and width of max. 2,400 mm are produced.
The natural fiber mats can be compressed by a calendar on the customer wants material thickness
This has the advantage that the customer's further processing of the "Plates" with decorative fabrics without additional adhesive application is possible and leads to significant savings in investment costs for the customer.
Press parts from wood
fiber mats
To the completion of the production of wood fiber mats ICOM has several hot press types of equipment with different tool capaciousness. Herewith ICOM is able to manufacture three-dimensional press parts for the automotive industry. One of the options is also plastic back injection for inner reinforcement or assembly joints.
The mold temperature is between 200 ° C and 230°C. The press parts convince primarily in comparison with synthetic parts by the following qualities.
Press parts have better sound absorption and a weight advantage of up to 40 %. In case of an accident wood fiber products have the best passive crash behavior, no sharp edges, and no emission of particles. The costs of wood fiber mats are independent of oil price fluctuations. By adding individual specific components the press parts are also suitable for use in the engine.
