Surface Quality. Strength. Efficiency. All in One Laminate.

Unlock the performance of thermoplastic composites with FloLam® by Xamax—a family of advanced surfacing laminates engineered to deliver smooth finishes, reduced weight, and long-term durability for high-demand industries like automotive, aerospace, construction, and mass transit.

What is FloLam®?

The FloLam® Series consists of multilayer surface laminates designed to enhance both the performance and appearance of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) panels and thermoplastic sandwich structures. Backed by patents US 9,199,440 B2 and US 9,138,974 B2, FloLam® offers consistent finish, reliable protection, and efficient processing.

Choose the Right Variant for Your Needs

● FloLam® – The foundational laminate. Improves surface smoothness and shields composites from UV and moisture.
● FloLam®PR – Includes a built-in release film for better mold release and customizable finishes.
● FloLam®PR+ – Premium version delivering near-class “A” matte or gloss finish for exterior-grade or cosmetic panels.

All versions are customizable with pigments, UV inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, and flame retardants, offering versatility in both function and appearance.

Why FloLam®?

● Smooth, Flawless Finish – Reduces print-through and masks defects.
● UV Resistant – Tested to last up to 15,000 hours (ASTM G155).
● Production-Friendly – PR and PR+ options simplify demolding and speed up cycle times.
● Design Flexibility – Available in gloss or matte, with full color and additive options.
● Recyclable & Sustainable – Compatible with thermoplastic recycling streams.

Multi-Layer Construction

● Surface Layer: Pigmentable, UV-resistant film available in various gloss levels
● Bond Layer: Designed to integrate with CFRTP and thermoplastic substrates seamlessly
● Release Film (PR & PR+ only): Protects the laminate during processing and simplifies demolding

● FloVeil® PNR: Permanent Surface Films for Outdoor Performance
● FloVeil® PNR is a high-strength, UV-resistant surfacing film made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) and engineered with a proprietary bonding layer for permanent attachment to polypropylene-based substrates. It’s the ideal solution for protecting CFRTP panels and sandwich structures exposed to outdoor elements.

Key Benefits

● Improves surface finish and masks voids or fiber print-through
● Adds a durable, UV-resistant outer layer rated for up to 15,000 hours
● Covalently bonds to PP-based substrates with heat, pressure, and dwell time
● Available in white matte finish and a wide range of thicknesses (48 µm to 100 µm)
● Optional poly-coated versions for enhanced processing

Applications

● Outdoor enclosures
● Honeycomb panels
● Structural skins requiring long-term weather durability

FAQs

1. What’s the difference between FloLam®, PR, and PR+?
FloLam® offers base surface protection. PR adds a release layer for better mold release and gloss control. PR+ is made for premium finish quality, ideal for cosmetic or exterior surfaces.

2. How UV resistant is FloLam®?
All FloLam® types are engineered for outdoor use and tested to resist UV exposure for up to 15,000 hours using ASTM G155 Xenon Arc testing.

3. Will it help improve the surface appearance?
Yes, FloLam® minimizes print-through, blemishes, and imperfections for a smoother, more uniform finish.

4. Why use the release film in PR and PR+?
It speeds up demolding and improves part quality, especially for high-gloss or cosmetic parts.
