Thermoplastic composites
Nowadays, thermoplastic composite structures are rapidly growing in popularity. And this is not surprising, given their unique characteristics. Thermoplastic composites are not only deformable when heated, but also extremely robust, light and affordable. The high-end thermoplastic composites are even fire-, corrosion- and high-temperature-resistant. For the exact same reasons, thermoplastic composite materials are the building blocks of our panels and beams.
Technology corner stones
Panels
AGESIA’s sandwich panels consist of PA-6/glass Organo sheet skins and a PET-core structure. Both are connected with the CIB process leading to no delamination. Combined with beams, the panels lend themselves perfectly to construct lightweight and sustainable structures, such as shipping containers, trailers or other transportation equipment.
Forming
During the thermoforming process, thermoplastic composite products are heated to their softening point and subsequently transformed into the desired shape. This way, thermoplastic composites can be reshaped over and over again to meet various purposes.
CIB
AGESIA has developed a technology to connect thermoplastic composite products in a fast and energy-efficient way. This unique and patented process (CIB, Covalent Intermediate Bounding) connects two different thermoplastic matrices chemically. This process is different than gluing or heat welding. The CIB process also works to connect thermoplastic composite layers to metal.
Thanks to this new and unique technology, AGESIA’s panels and beams can be structurally joint

Johns Manville Neomera Organosheets – Breaking Barriers to Adoption: An Intermodal Roof Application Reengineered with Agesia
Agesia, a De Roeve Industries company, develops production technology and thermoplastic products to construct light, strong and recyclable transportation equipment. Using JM Neomera organosheets, Agesia is able to offer innovative yet affordable thermoplastic solutions in applications where steel and thermoset products fail.
Agesia panels consist of a PET core sandwiched between two JM Neomera Organosheets. The continuous production process allows the panels to be formed to shape as well as structural. The panels are suitable for applications in transportation, aerospace, automotive and marine.
The webinar will bring to life the solutions Agesia has developed and designed for the intermodal container industry and are based around Agesia’s new thermoplastic structural lightweight sandwich panels. The solution reduces the weight of container roofs by 75% and allows the product to perform with deformation under vacuum release.
