Lightweight materials and smart technologies for future vehicles.
The automotive industry is moving towards electric and energy-efficient designs. As a result, reducing weight and ensuring safety have become top priorities for manufacturers. Aikon® high-performance plastics offer advanced glazing solutions, supporting lighter vehicle designs with extended driving range, a safer and more comfortable user experience, and a lower environmental impact.
Windows significantly impact the vehicle’s overall weight. Switching from traditional glass to Aikon® glazing solutions cuts glazing weight by up to 50%. Lighter vehicle weight improves energy efficiency and extends driving range.
In addition to being lightweight, Aikon® polycarbonate offers up to 200 times higher impact resistance than glass. Our polycarbonate is a strong, durable solution compared to other materials. It enables the design of safer vehicles while supporting performance and visual appeal.
Aikon® hard-coated polycarbonate sheets are designed to withstand demanding outdoor conditions. Our hard coating offers superior durability by protecting the surface from scratches, abrasion, UV-related yellowing, and chemical exposure. With Aikon® PC Hard, you get safe, durable glazing that maintains clarity and performance over time.
Integrating smart technologies into windows enhances both user experience and functionality. The plastic laminating process enables embedding features such as shading films, transparent displays, or heating systems directly into the window.
Smart films on windows or a sunroof help reduce glare, control cabin temperature, and improve visibility, while creating a safer and more comfortable experience for the driver. Integrated solutions are a smart way to add value without complicating the vehicle design.
We value partnership and want to be involved in the customer's product development. By working with Aikon®, you get material expertise, support for production, and the latest technology for plastic processing. We manufacture prototypes as well as small series based on the customer’s specific needs. Our production capacity and high degree of automation also enable the delivery of large production batches cost-effectively.
Aikon® Full Solution provides a streamlined production process from material selection to finished glazing, all under one roof.
Our comprehensive, one-of-a-kind production line in Europe brings together coating, lamination, thermoforming, printing, and machining in a single facility. For example, our lamination process enables seamless integration of smart technologies into your glazing.
