ArmorTuf®-NXT
High-Impact Interior Liner
ArmorTuf is a high-impact resistant composite panel which out-performs
reinforced thermoplastic products and standard chopped glass thermoset
products. Since 2002, ArmorTuf has been the standard for high performance
liners. ArmorTuf-NXT manufactured with next generation technology is built on
the needs of the industry as a value engineered product for maximum strength.
Product Comparison
Surface Finish
ArmorTuf's resin-rich pebbled surface is more stain resistant and easier to clean than thermoplastic panels. This is due to
the chemically bonded, crosslinked resins, resulting in a harder, more robust panel surface. Thermoplastic panels are heat
bonded and result in a softer surface with surface voids that attract and trap dirt and moisture.

All Scuff Is Not Created Equal
SCUFF PANELS
Kemlite Scuff is specifically designed and formulated for the use as a scuff plate
to protect the lower portion of sidewall panels for refrigerated and dry van trailers
and truck bodies. Kemlite Scuff is a high-impact, durable, semi-rigid panel and is
more cleanable, more stain resistant, and abrasion resistant than competitive scuff
panels and alternative materials.
SCUFF PANELS
High Impact Panel
• Minimizes damage caused by forklift and pallets
• Protects against dents and tears
• Available in 0.12", 0.145", and 0.24" Thicknesses
ArmorTuf with Integral Scuff
For refrigerated trailer applications, consider ArmorTuf with integral scuff as an alternative to standard scuff plate. No
glue bond lines or fasteners with this uniquely manufactured integral scuff panel. ArmorTuf with Integral Scuff has all the
benefits of the high-impact liner panel - plus a heavy duty, built-in, protective scuff where it is needed.
One-Piece Construction
• Eliminates the potential for moisture to penetrate between the scuff
and liner
• Eliminates the need for scuff fasteners
• Reduces maintenance costs
• No scuff delamination potential from this panel
High Strength to Weight Ratio
• Provides greater protection against dents and tears versus aluminum
• Typical weight savings of 125 lbs. per trailer versus aluminum scuff
• Thinner scuff provides more puncture resistance than thermoplastic scuff

HYBRID COMPOSITES
Hybrid Composite Solutions
All Composites Are Not Created Equal
These unique panels are all-composite, and wood-free
offering high strength-to-weight characteristics for structural
and non-structural applications. The all-composite panel is
comprised of various layers of high performance
reinforcement and resins while utilizing a light-weight core.
This revolutionary composite provides additional stiffness,
insulating properties and weight savings compared to
traditional materials. Our composites materials are
actually 30 times more puncture resistant than aluminum!
Composite panels will not rust, while providing corrosion
and dent resistance you can’t beat.
COMPOSITE SOLUTIONS
Light Weight Design
• Weight reduction of 15%-50% over traditional
materials can result in improved fuel efficiency
• Less weight equals more freight!
Long Lasting Appearance
• Composite panels have a seamless automotive-like finish for
improved weathering performance that is corrosion and dent resistant.
Traditional Lamination
Solutions
Kemply®
The only FRP laminated panel with Surfaseal. Perfect for use where cleanliness and durability are important. The
Surfaseal finish provides moisture resistance, durability, and abrasion resistance. Kemply Traditional Laminated solutions
use a rigid plywood substrate to provide structural strength and can be installed directly to studs. Other substrates
available upon request.

cause weight gain and discoloration
Life Cycle Assessment

Vs. Stainless Steel

A Life Cycle Assessment* (LCA) study
comparing cradle-to-grave of an frp Sea
Container Liner System and a Stainless
Steel Sea Container Liner System showed
that the frp Liner System has a lower
environmental impact over a Stainless
Steel Liner System.
The frp system has lower impact values
in ten of the eleven analyzed LCA impact
categories, and in seven of those eleven,
frp values were less than 50% of the
stainless steel system.
