LAMILUX Says ‘Sunsation’ a Revolutionary Fiber Composite

LAMILUX, a European-based provider of glass fiber-reinforced composite plastics, presented LAMILUX Sunsation, an innovative gelcoat technology that completely redefines the standard for external applications and the long-awaited revolution in fiber composite plastics, at the leading trade fairs for mobile travel, the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf, and for transport logistics at the IAA Transportation, according to a release.

LAMILUX Sunsation features 20 times better UV resistance than the gelcoats currently available on the market. In terms of image, appearance, care and value, the materials expert LAMILUX makes investments look like new, even after decades in the sun.

“LAMILUX Sunsation is not a polish, cream or wax, but an UV protection technology that is firmly integrated into the GRP material. This means that nothing has to be applied at a later stage. Please ask your dealer or manufacturer about LAMILUX Sunsation,” said Senior Product Manager Sascha Oswald. 

Europe’s leading manufacturer of fibre-reinforced composites, LAMILUX Composites, presents LAMILUX Sunsation, the world’s most UV-resistant GRP face sheet and one of the most revolutionary developments in the world of glass fibre-reinforced plastics. 

The new GRP standard in the sun 

Extreme colour and gloss retention and no color difference when removing decals from surfaces: LAMILUX Sunsation sets a new benchmark in the quality standard of glass fibre-reinforced plastics. In artificial weathering tests, such as according DIN EN ISO 4892–2, LAMILUX Sunsation demonstrates absolute resistance. Even after 15 to 20 years of real weathering, LAMILUX Sunsation retains its rich colors and maximum gloss. The results of the tests confirm the revolutionary development for GRP exterior applications. 

More design – less effort and expense 

The ultimate plus: LAMILUX Sunsation significantly reduces the care requirements of exterior applications. Surfaces with extreme gloss retention no longer need to be waxed for preventive protection or subsequent repair. In figures, this means: 90 percent less effort and expense for waxing, thanks to the use of LAMILUX Sunsation. Not to mention the significantly higher resale value and the enhanced appearance. After all, LAMILUX Sunsation still looks like new, even after years in the sun! 

Sascha Oswald, responsible for the market launch: “At both of our trade fair appearances, we noticed an overwhelming response from our audience. This reinforces our view that our LAMILUX Sunsation can revolutionise the market requirements for durable vehicle exteriors.”
