Intermodal Tank Containers in 2025: Lighter, Stable, and Durable - Lamilux Enhances Intermodal Tank Container Design
Lamilux Composites, a leading manufacturer based in Rehau, Germany, has introduced two new materials tailored for the tank container industry: Lamilux High Strength X-treme Gelcoat and Lamilux High Strength Impact Sunsation. These materials promise robust solutions for tank container linings, focused on durability, safety, and cost-efficiency.
Lamilux High Strength X-treme Gelcoat boasts high mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and a smooth surface finish, ensuring easier cleaning and preventing residue build-up. Its thermal stability and UV resistance make it suitable for various temperature ranges and outdoor applications. The gelcoat formulation provides a robust protective coating bonded to the substrate, offering prolonged tank life, reduced maintenance, enhanced safety, and improved aesthetics.
Lamilux High Strength Impact Sunsation, on the other hand, offers exceptional impact resistance and high flexibility, making it ideal for withstanding mechanical shocks and maintaining integrity under stress and deformation. Its chemical resistance and lightweight material make it suitable for aggressive cargoes without adding significant weight to the tank. The special surface texture optimizes durability and grip, ensuring superior protection, improved durability, ease of installation, and enhanced safety.
Both materials provide substantial savings by extending tank service life, reducing maintenance and downtime, and improving operational safety. The new surfaces of the materials retain their gloss and colour even after years of use, with 20 times higher UV resistance compared to market-standard materials.
Lamilux Composites will present a fully equipped original tank container with GFRP lining at Transport Logistic 2025, allowing visitors to get a direct impression of the practical use of the materials. The fiber-reinforced composite materials from Lamilux Composites are produced in an automated, continuous manufacturing process, ensuring short delivery times with consistent quality.
Choosing between the two materials depends on the specific operational needs. Use Lamilux High Strength X-treme Gelcoat for superior chemical and abrasion resistance with a smooth finish. Choose Lamilux High Strength Impact Sunsation when mechanical impact resistance and flexibility are critical.
Lamilux Composites is particularly targeting operators of tank containers in international traffic. For more tailored recommendations based on your tank type and cargo, feel free to provide more details.
Visit Lamilux Composites at Hall B4, Stand 29 at Transport Logistic 2025 to explore these innovative solutions in person. The new materials from Lamilux Composites offer advantages where mechanical stress is high and operating conditions are challenging, making them ideal for intermodal freight transport.
