One year after foundation - Exolon Group launches comprehensive Brand change / new brand name for Bayblend^®

Pulheim, 23 November 2020. One year after its foundation, the Exolon Group is launching a comprehensive brand change. As of January 1, 2021, the company is changing the brand name for its opaque sheet materials based on polycarbonate/polyester or polycarbonate blends.

Bayblend^® is the first brand to be marketed as Exoblend^®.

Proven quality under a new name

For customers, nothing will change initially apart from the brand name. "We make no compromises during production and guarantee the same high quality, the processing of the same high-quality raw materials, the specifications and the desired properties," assures Jens Becker, CEO of Exolon Group.

The product names of Exoblend^® sheets are characterized by their main properties. Thus Bayblend^® T65 becomes Exoblend TF (thermoformable), Bayblend^® FR3030 becomes Exoblend^® FR (Flame Retardant) and Bayblend^® MTX becomes Exoblend^® MTX (Mass Transportation Excellence).

Exoblend – versatile application options for the highest demands

Exoblend is an opaque coloured sheet material based on PC/ABS blends. The product range has been specially developed for thermoforming, to meet the highest requirements: Impact resistance, high thermal stability and halogen-free fire behaviour. Medium to large-area parts such as covers and housings are usually produced from solid sheets. The sheets can be painted or printed using standard procedures and can be mechanically joined or bonded to other materials. Exoblend is available in all RAL colours depending on customer requirements and is 100% recyclable.

Comprehensive brand change

Exoblend^® is the first product in the Exolon Group portfolio to be marketed under a new brand name with immediate effect. By mid-2021, the company will be adapting the brand names of all product series. Furthermore, our existing own brands will also be revised.
