Redesign vehicle efficiency with EcoTechnilin flax fiber reinforcements. In urban mobility and last-mile logistics, weight is the enemy. Our natural fiber composites reduce mass, extend electric autonomy, and lower the carbon footprint of your vehicles—all without compromising structural performance.
Why Choose EcoTechnilin Reinforcements?
- Reduced weight: Lower mass translates directly into increased range for electric vehicles.
- High stiffness-to-weight ratio: Ideal for structural and semi-structural components.
- Cradle-to-gate CO₂ reduction: European-grown, renewable fibers act as a natural carbon sink.
- Simplified end-of-life: Thermoplastic matrices (PP, PLA) can be recycled or revalorized.
- Natural vibration absorption: Flax fibers’ hollow structure dampens road vibrations, reducing cabin noise without heavy insulation.
- Intrinsic thermal insulation: Supports passive thermal regulation in enclosures and cargo compartments.
Applications & Industrial Integration
Our semi-finished products (UD, woven, non-woven, mats) integrate easily into existing production lines, from low-volume specialized runs to medium-series industrial manufacturing.
- Compatible processes: RTM, infusion, thermoforming.
- Versatile applications:
Exterior: Cargo bike panels, trailer bodies, urban-impact-resistant fairings.
Interior: Door panels, dashboards, rear trays, also available with premium visual finishes.
Technical FAQ
Q: How do the composites behave in outdoor conditions?
A: While flax is naturally hydrophilic, proper resin selection and UV protection ensure excellent weather and UV resistance.
Q: Are these materials suitable for industrial-scale production?
A: Absolutely. UD, woven, and mat formats provide reproducible performance for both small specialized runs and medium industrial volumes.
Q: How can end-of-life management be handled?
A: Using thermoplastic resins, components can be shredded and reintegrated via our Recytal process, supporting a true circular economy. Using thermoset resins, flax is naturally flammable which improves the energy recovery by thermal treatment.
