Technology for Hybrid Profiles
Lighter constructions. Higher performance. Lower CO₂ footprint.
HycoFusion® combines specially developed wooden cores with closed aluminium or steel profiles. The patented joining process uses the controlled swelling of the wood to generate full-surface contact pressure and thus a mechanically effective connection between wood and metal. As a result, the wooden core becomes a structurally active component of the hybrid profile.
The connection requires no adhesives and is reversible: at the end of their service life, the materials can be separated again and returned to their respective material cycles.
Our hybrid solution:
Reduced material use
Wood as a renewable raw material
Fully recyclable
Shear-resistant and reversible connection without adhesives
