What is Exalite®?
Exalite® represents the excellence of a 30-year know-how gained by Karton in polypropylene extrusion technology.
It is a special polypropylene panel featuring a hollow, honeycomb core.
The triple ‘sandwich’ structure of the panel is completed by 2 outer layers of solid polypropylene sheets.
The result is a remarkably strong and lightweight material: more than 30% better stiffness at the same weight compared to competitors’ materials. This special feature makes it suitable for transporting heavy and valuable components for the automotive sector.
Karton developed the know-how to provide sealed edges technology: this makes Exalite® panels, sleeves and layer pads easy to clean, ideal for reverse logistics.
Exalite® reusable containers are suitable for any closed logistics network, ensuring long service life and enabling significant costs reductions.
Exalite® offers:
- Resistance to chemical elements;
- Versatility: it can be bond with steel, aluminium, wood and other plastics;
- Production flexibility: panel length can be adapted for fitting in different applications, with a variable width up to 1250 mm;
- Exceptional strength/weight ratio of the honeycomb core + outer layers;
- Where an anti-slip surface is needed, Karton can provide this special finishing, ideal for layer pads to transport automotive components.
