Maintains Impact Strength, Even At Low Temperatures

Telene® provides durability and robustness for Heavy Truck body panels, enabling an extension of service life for Class 5-8 trucks. It also provides an easy-to paint Class A surface finish, optimal for product differentiation.

  • High impact tolerance
  • Weight savings up to 30% vs. metal body panels
  • Competitive cost
  • Design versatility

Weight Reduction and Lower Production Costs

Telene® delivers weight savings up to 20% vs. standard composite materials and 30% vs. metal body panels. The ease of manufacturing delivers cost savings for complex "monoblock" engine hoods in agricultural vehicles.

  • High heat deflection temperature
  • Variable thickness to allocate stiffness where needed
  • Radio transparency for sensor integration in modern equipment
  • Easy to paint Class A surface finish

One-Piece Manufacturing with Long-Term Stability

Telene®'s 2-part thermoset resin enables easy manufacturing of complex geometries, including integrated threaded inserts in construction equipment enclosure panels. The dent- and corrosion-resistant materials deliver an upgrade over traditional steel fabrication.

  • Resistance to gravel, asphalt and road chemicals
  • Vibration resistance, reducing noise during operation
  • High surface quality
Impact

Impact and Vibration Resistant

Telene® has high fatigue and fracture properties even at low temperatures. The vibration resistant properties help minimize noise during operation.
Feather

Light Weight

Telene® has low a specific gravity of 1.03 resulting in up to 30% weight savings vs. steel sheets.
Cryogenic

Cryogenic Durability

Telene® has excellent mechanical properties down to -60oC, providing damage resistance in harsh climates.
Flask 7

Corrosion Resistant

Telene® has excellent resistance to caustic soda, chlorine and soda ash used in agricultural operations as well as road chemicals used in paving.
Compression 3

High Compression Strength

Telene® shows no loss of compression strength under harsh, hot/wet conditions.
5 G colors

Radio Transparency

Telene® has high transparency to radio frequencies.
