Your partner for innovative
metal foam solutions
We develop, produce and improve open-cell metal foams by coating polyurethane foams with metal or by adding a metal layer to conventional metal foams.
Mac Panther Materials – Your partner for innovative metal foam solutions
The goal of Mac Panther Materials is to offer customers the best possible solution to meet their needs. This requires close cooperation and maintaining a relationship with our partners that is built on trust. Only in this way is sustainable, joint success possible.
The significant improvement in conventional metal foams as well as our years of experience with this technology guarantee our customers to be able to offer innovative metal foam solutions and products in the long term.
We look forward to meeting you!
The advantages/potential applications of metal foams
Metal foams are divided into two categories: open-cell or closed-cell. Compared to closed-cell metal foams, open-cell metal foams offer more advantages and areas of applications.
Only the surface of an open-cell foam, regardless of whether it is a conventional metal or polyurethane foam, can be coated in a downstream process, resulting in what are known as hybrid foams. This downstream coating, which is one of the core competencies of Mac Panther Materials, makes it possible to modify/adapt the metal foam properties, thus often resulting in additional functionalities for the customer.
The great advantage of open-cell metal foam, especially with hybrid foam, is its bi- or multifunctionality as the case may be.
This means that hybrid foams, unlike conventional materials, offer several advantages at the same time thanks to their composition. One example of this is the side-impact protection of a car made of metal foam. The metal foam provides very good protection against collisions due to its ability to absorb a lot of energy. At the same time, it is a light-weight construction element due to its low weight and thus reduces fuel consumption as well as the environmental impact. A side impact protector made of metal foam simultaneously becomes multifunctional due to its vibration- and sound-absorbing properties and is thus a “smart” material, as muffled noises from the outside offer drivers improved driving comfort.
Your potential applications for our metal foam will also certainly have more than one function for your application!
