Lauramid®, our PA12C,
is engineered
to withstand the forces 
that destroy conventional maritime materials:

Abrasion

Biofouling

Cavitation

Chemical resistance

Corrosion

Low water absorbtion

Abrasion

Sand, sediment and continuous friction gradually wear away component surfaces, reducing efficiency and service life.

 

Lauramid® is engineered to resist constant wear from sand and sediment.

Biofouling

Marine growth such as algae, barnacles and mussels accumulates on submerged surfaces, increasing drag and reducing efficiency.

 

Lauramid® is engineered to resist the challenges of marine growth.

Cavitation

A hidden underwater force that causes surface erosion, wear and reduced component life.

 

Lauramid® is engineered to resist millions of microscopic impacts.

Chemical Resistance

Exposure to saltwater, oils, fuels and aggressive chemicals can degrade conventional materials and reduce service life.

 

Lauramid® is engineered to resist aggressive chemical exposure.

Read more

Corrosion

Saltwater and oxygen continuously attack metal surfaces, causing material degradation, reduced performance and increased maintenance.

 

Lauramid® is engineered to resist what rust never stops attacking.

New worlds can be discovered,

 

Turning separation into connection,

 

Engineered to withstand extreme pressure

 

... and shaping the future of aquanautics:

 

Born from an idea that seemed impossible

 

driven by the vision of two Swabian pioneers

 

created from two groundbreaking plastics

 

Lauramid® and Acryglas®

 

One solution. Endless possiblities.

 

THE DEEPEST POINT OF OUR RESEARCH SO FAR.

 

Engineered to endure

2.286 meters beneath the ocean surface
