Fibre-reinforced plastics must be protected from UV radiation by protective coating systems in outdoor applications. With current technologies, the surfaces nevertheless wear out after a few years and also show fading and yellowing colours. By using completely new raw materials and rethinking production processes, LAMILUX SUNSATION has created a technology that guarantees over 20 times better UV resistance. LAMILUX Composites GmbH was awarded Winner in the German Innovation Awards 2022.

The Troldtekt® acoustic panel, based on FUTURECEM™, absorbs more CO2 than it emits during production (phases sA1-A3 in EPD). It thus has a negative carbon footprint in these phases. This is because the wood in the panel absorbs CO2 during the growth of the trees. Troldtekt A/S und Troldtekt GmbH was awarded Winner in the German Innovation Awards 2022.
