What is composite?

What is a composite?

Composite is a material consisting of two or more different components, which together form a material that combines the advantages of both. In the case of Duplicor® bio-composites, our product consists of a combination of a strong fiber structure and a special matrix of bio-resin, which provides unmatched strength, durability and flexibility. The fibers can range from carbon and glass fibers to natural fibers such as hemp or flax, depending on the desired properties of the material.

What makes Duplicor® bio-composite special is that we use high-quality, specially selected raw materials that ensure optimal performance even under extreme conditions. Duplicor®'s unique composite structure makes it possible to create materials that are lightweight, yet incredibly strong and resistant to most environmental conditions.

What is bio-composite?

Bio-composite is a type of composite that uses natural materials such as resin from plant residual waste and/or fibers from hemp, flax or other plant sources. This contributes to the sustainability of the material because the use of biobased materials reduces the carbon footprint. Duplicor® is moulded from crop residues (agrowaste) and when combined with natural fibers and a core of, for example, cork or recycled cardboard, is a 100% bio-based composite.

Our products are an environmentally friendly solution without compromising on performance.

Why Duplicor® composite is the future of construction

1. Unmatched durability 
   Duplicor® composites can withstand the most extreme weather conditions. Whether rain, wind, sun or snow, our materials resist corrosion and UV rays, ensuring long-lasting performance without intensive maintenance.
2. Lightweight and strong
   One of the biggest advantages of Duplicor® composite is its low weight combined with high strength and rigidity. This means that the material is easy to handle during construction, but at the same time is enormously strong, contributing to the structural integrity of the building and also allowing for large one-piece building elements.
3. Shape freedom and design flexibility
   Our composites offer designers the freedom to create complex and unique shapes that would be difficult to achieve with traditional materials. Duplicor® bio-composites can be customized for a variety of applications, from complete structural and integral facade elements, roof solutions, first floor elements to cladding, making them the ideal choice for architects and contractors with an eye for innovative design and/or efficient use of materials.
4. Environmentally friendly and sustainable 
   Duplicor® prides itself on its commitment to sustainability. The use of specially developed bio-resin which is extracted from plant residues such as the stalks of corn and sugar cane, contribute to the preservation of the environment. Our bio-composite products are also fully reusable and, for end of life, recyclable, thus contributing to a circular economy.
5. Maintenance-free 
   Duplicor® bio-composites require little to no maintenance. Thanks to their resistance to most external influences, they remain in top condition for years, reducing life-cycle costs.

Composite as a building material

Duplicor® composites find their way into a variety of applications within the construction industry. Whether it is complete structural and integral façade elements, roof solutions, ground floor elements or durable cladding, Duplicor® offers the ideal solution. The flexibility of composite allows us to offer not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing solutions that meet the highest standards.

Our products are designed for the long term and deliver top performance in both practical and visual terms. With Duplicor®, you are choosing a reliable, durable and innovative solution that supports the future of the construction industry.
