The Geolam System

Geolam's wood-plastic composite technology, patented in Japan in the 1990s, achieves a groundbreaking feat by drying wood fibers to 0% moisture content before compounding them with recycled plastics and additives like compatibilizers and pigments. This results in a fully integrated composite that is dimensionally stable and structurally superior to traditional wood-plastic composites, effectively bonding to mimic natural wood's appearance. Enhanced by hybrid technology that combines light, stable aluminum with a copolymer resin and a protective outer layer, Geolam products offer a unique flexibility in design, are lighter, more stable, and can be molded into various radii, surpassing traditional materials in both aesthetics and performance.
