Sascha Oswald, product management
& new business development
Lamilux Composites, studied
business engineering with a special
focus on material engineering at
Hochschule Hof - University of
Applied Sciences. He was in the
engine development department
of Gemballa Sportscars before
joining Lamilux Composites in 2010.
An interesting application of
GFRP is the refrigerated transport
of COVID-19 vaccines, which has
become an urgent topic during
the past months. Transportation
has been focusing mainly on overland
...and airway routes instead
of much slower shipping routes.
Special transport vehicles and
containers are required for safe
and hygienic transport at constant
temperatures. Lamilux is applying
a GFRP that was originally developed
for the demanding sports
equipment market - snowboard,
ski and kiteboard - as a face sheet
for the internal and external walls
of vaccine transport containers.
This material is a blend of
glass rovings from continuous
filaments and a specially-modified
epoxy resin, producing an
extremely robust corrosion-free,
very light and easy-to-clean
surface. " An additional option is
the AntiBac finishing, which can
be applied optionally to the glass
fibre-reinforced plastic, providing

properties. Developed for the
highly-complex demands of the
active sports industry, the material
is now being transferred to
other areas such as ultra-light distribution
and delivery vehicles " ,
explains Sascha Oswald. " The
recent pandemic has pushed forward
logistics for home delivery
and the trend towards lightweight
construction and sustainability.
We have an export rate of around
80%, mainly to the USA, Europe
and Asia. When using our GRP
lightweight material, a smaller
van can save around 50 kg. This
is equivalent to savings of several
hundred thousands of kilograms
for a total transport of a big city.
Savings in fuel consumption are
considerable. "
