These alloys, belonging to the 6xxx series, are specifically engineered to deliver excellent formability at two different strength levels. ECOLITE™160ID and ECOLITE™200HF aluminium enable automotive designers to explore more complex designs that were previously considered challenging with standard alloys.
Additionally, they offer gauge reduction opportunities due to higher strength combined with excellent formability, allowing for further optimization in design and material usage.

Beyond their advanced technical properties, ECOLITE™160ID and ECOLITE™200HF alloys contribute to a more sustainable automotive future. When replacing 5xxx alloys with ECOLITE™160ID or ECOLITE™200HF automotive body sheet, 6xxx alloys can be used for both inner and outer parts, streamlining scrap sorting, simplifying recycling, and cutting CO₂ emissions significantly compared to using mixed aluminum alloys.
