Wood Plastic Composite Sheet

FIBROPAN · AUTOMOTIVE MATERIALS
Wood fiber and short glass fiber reinforced polymer sheets. Two material families combining fiber reinforcement with thermoplastic formability for automotive interior components.

Fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheets for automotive interiors.
Manufactured in Eskişehir, Türkiye, Fibropan sheets combine polypropylene with wood fibers or short glass fibers. Extrusion produces a solid composite sheet that can be thermoformed into interior components.
We support material selection and component development, with optional nonwoven or carpet finishes and ongoing research into continuous-fiber reinforcement.

3D forming
Both wood fiber and short glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic sheets can be formed into three-dimensional components. Heating and molding transform the flat sheet into a shape suited to the application.
Material grade, surface finish and forming conditions are selected around the component geometry and its requirements.
Research & development
New development work is underway to combine Fibropan solid composite cores with UD Max continuous glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic layers on both faces.
