Sandwich panel provides a
lightweight structural solution that possesses superior structural
and tensile strength allowing for diversity in design and a vast
array of industrial and commercial applications.
It is used largely for interior and exterior structures
and is fast becoming the material of choice for architects and
designers; is used in the design of architectural products such as
fascia, cladding, canopies, entryways and column covers. Also used
extensively in the retail market for such diverse applications as
store fixtures for food service merchandisers, ATM Kiosks, and
signage.
Flat or contoured design and varying thickness and rigidity of
honeycomb core panels allows for many applications. Where end
presentation is important, panel aesthetics are taken into
consideration of the final product while not compromising superior
composition and high compressive strength
It possesses a higher strength-to-weight ratio than traditional
materials allowing better economy, greater load capacity, and
increased efficiency. In addition, composites possess dynamic
rigidity and is able to withstand extreme wear and tear due to
loading stresses and mechanical strain. Flawless surface workability
resulting from innovative composition provides advanced structural
integrity and the strength to carry both light and heavy loads.
Different materials can be used to provide varying dynamics and
strength to weight ratios according to design specifications.
Elastic stiffness refers to a panel’s resistance to deflection. By
varying composition and thickness, structural stress and damage due
to deflection are minimized. Sandwich panels are uniformly bonded so
the structure is proportionally stable in intense or unpredictable
environmental conditions.
