Xamax provides a layer of high-performance laminates or films that are used to provide an attractive and protective outer cover in a variety of applications. Tractor trailers were an early adapter where they are used in side skirts and liner panels. New uses include RVs and construction materials.

Xamax Laminate Film Products

FloLam® Surface Laminate Series

FloLam® Surface Laminate Series

FloLam® surfacing industrial laminates were designed to provide a smooth, resin rich surface over the top of various thermoplastic laminates and substrates where aesthetics and surface quality are demanded. It is specially engineered to withstand the rigorous processing temperatures of any continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials (CFRTP) systems and thermoplastic sandwich panels. The FloLam® surfacing film and laminate provides a substantial level of protection and surface cleanliness to a broad range of surfaces, even under long term exposure to UV light, moisture and bacteria. With exceptional UV protection, weatherability and abrasion resistance, our FloLam® surface custom laminates are well suited for many outdoor applications, and typically provides fade resistance and color stability over long-term exposure.

The FloLam® PR surfacing laminate integrates a special release film and includes all the benefits of the FloLam® surface laminate. Additionally, the use of the release film allows a clean and easy removal from the composites without transfer of any residues. The surfacing film also acts as a protective cover to the composite laminates that can be removed by the end user later on.

The FloLam® PR+ is the ultimate enhancement for thermoplastic composites for both surface protection and aesthetics. It is specially engineered to produce a close to Class “A” finish – no surface voids.

The FloLam® series technology is patented.

FloVeil® Surfacing Films

FloVeil® PNR is a PET(Polyethylene terephthalate) film with an adhesion layer. This FloVeil® PNR film layer will provide a high level of surface enhancement, similar to FloLam® PR and PR+, except the polyester cover sheet is permanent and remains with the substrate. In addition, the FloVeil® PNR outer surface is treated to help bond various pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) and urethane adhesives/hot melts.

FloVeil® PP-FR acts just as regular FloVeil® surfacing film does, but we add flame retardancy to the overall finished composite. FloVeil® PP-FR is tested in accordance with ASTM 84-14 to meet a flame spread index under 200. FloVeil® PNR provides excellent UV resistance
