ATP-compliant cooling with optimum payload

COMPACFOAM fulfills all ATP requirements with a K-value of 0.046 W/m-K and at the same time reduces the body weight by up to 30%. This means more loading volume for the same vehicle class or a higher payload for the same body. The material is permanently dimensionally stable in the event of temperature fluctuations and offers simple repair options in the event of transport damage thanks to its screwability.

Maximum payload thanks to innovative lightweight construction

For refrigerated trailers, COMPACFOAM enables weight savings of 500-800 kg compared to conventional mineral wool insulation. The material retains its ATP-certified insulating properties even after years of intensive use and eliminates the problem of sagging insulation. The mechanical strength ensures secure fastenings for load securing systems even when fully loaded.

Temperature stability for critical goods

COMPACFOAM offers the temperature stability required for GDP-compliant pharmaceutical transportation with minimal intrinsic mass. The material shows no outgassing and is resistant to disinfectants - essential for transporting medicines. The homogeneous insulation layer eliminates thermal bridges that could lead to temperature fluctuations, while the ease of cleaning ensures hygienic standards.

Robust for extreme conditions

COMPACFOAM withstands temperatures from -40°C to +70°C without loss of properties - ideal for expedition vehicles in all climate zones. The material is insensitive to moisture and UV radiation, while its mechanical strength ensures reliable connections even under off-road conditions. The low thermal conductivity minimizes the energy required for heating and cooling in remote areas without shore power.

Why COMPACFOAM?

Simple and secure screw connection

COMPACFOAM can be easily screwed together with standard wood screws, ensuring a stable and durable connection. With pull-out strengths comparable to wood-based materials, but at only half the weight, the material is particularly suitable for inserts and fastenings in caravans and refrigerated trailers.

Significant weight saving

One of the most outstanding features of COMPACFOAM is its low weight. Compared to traditional materials such as plywood or MDF, the overall weight of the vehicle is significantly reduced. This leads to higher payloads and enables better fuel efficiency and performance.

Unsurpassed dimensional stability

COMPACFOAM is extremely dimensionally stable. There are no changes in thickness or deflection over the entire service life. The material does not react to changes in humidity or extreme temperatures and always retains its original shape. This ensures consistent performance and prevents deformation over time.

Insensitive to the effects of moisture

In contrast to many other materials, which change their structure or even become irreparably damaged when exposed to moisture, the COMPACFOAM stable even under constant exposure to moisture. This moisture resistance makes it the ideal choice for use in refrigerated trailers and in vehicles that are exposed to extreme climatic conditions.

Perfect as a construction core

As a construction core in sandwich panels COMPACFOAM a reduction in the interior construction weight of up to 50%. It remains just as stable and can be screwed together just as easily as wood. This property not only helps to reduce the weight of the vehicle, but also improves the durability and moisture resistance of the panels.

Simple integration into existing production processes

COMPACFOAM can be integrated into existing production processes without additional conversion. It can be processed using the same machines as wood, including cutting, milling and gluing. Screwing directly into the material also works in the same way as with wood, enabling quick adaptation to your production processes.

FAQ

What specific properties make COMPACFOAM particularly suitable for use in caravans or refrigerated trailers?

COMPACFOAM is significantly lighter than standard wood-based materials, but can be used identically. It can be screwed together and shows no changes when exposed to moisture. This makes it a direct replacement for wood-based materials without the need for fundamental design changes.

How does COMPACFOAM compared to traditional panel materials in terms of weight and stability?

COMPACFOAM is up to 70% lighter than wood-based materials, but just as workable and similarly stable. Load-bearing screws can be screwed in directly and furniture edges and millings can be attached without any problems. In contrast to wood-based materials and many other functional and lightweight materials, the material is completely insensitive to moisture and dimensionally stable. Thanks to the special manufacturing process, it does not swell or shrink - the boards do not bend, even under changing temperature and humidity conditions.

What thermal conductivity values does COMPACFOAM offer and how does it compare with other materials?

COMPACFOAM has thermal conductivity values of 0.037-0.045 W/m²K - this is around three times better than wood-based materials and comparable to polystyrene and lightweight rock wool insulation materials, but with the highest strength at the same time.

What certifications or standards does COMPACFOAM meet with regard to the environment and consumer safety in the automotive industry?

COMPACFOAM is completely unmixed and manufactured without the addition of adhesives, blowing agents or additives. This makes it completely formaldehyde-free and free of all hazardous or carcinogenic additives. COMPACFOAM is manufactured with a high proportion of recycled components and is of course itself completely recyclable.

Can COMPACFOAM be customized to meet specific requirements?

COMPACFOAM is always adapted exactly to your requirements. This largely avoids cutting costs and eliminates the need for time-consuming processing by the customer.

What advantages does COMPACFOAM offer in terms of durability and maintenance-free vehicles?

COMPACFOAM is permanently resistant even under the influence of moisture and high temperatures. This prevents a shortened service life due to unwanted moisture ingress or extreme temperatures.

How does COMPACFOAM affect the overall cost of a vehicle compared to other materials?

COMPACFOAM can be processed in much the same way as wood. This means that no additional or different work steps are required. In addition, the uniqueness of the material often replaces complex multi-layer structures with a simple solution.

What ecological advantages does COMPACFOAM offer compared to other materials?

COMPACFOAM is 100% recyclable and also available in a 100% recycled version. This makes it a sustainable alternative for environmentally conscious vehicle manufacturers.
