Fiberglass Honeycomb Panels
Fiberglass honeycomb panels are the first composite material to solve lightweight problems in many industries in the world today. It is a composite material with a simple but stable structure. It uses fiberglass reinforced materials as the skin and plastic honeycombs (polypropylene materials) as the core material through advanced composite processes.
Lightweight & High Strength
Lightweighting does not mean simply reducing the weight of the material itself, but retaining or improving the mechanical properties of the material (compressive strength, bending strength, shear strength, etc.) on this basis. Fiberglass honeycomb panels can be designed into lightweight structures with balanced density and strength to meet different application requirements to replace metal and wood.
The durability of fiberglass honeycomb panels is unquestionable in the industry. Panels treated with UV protection are more weather-resistant than steel materials. It is also not easy to break and easy to repair. Compared with expensive aluminum, it is a more economical choice. It is corrosion-resistant and does not react to acidic and alkaline substances. Compared with wood (logs, plywood, medium-density fiberboard, etc.), it is more durable.
Thermosetting FRP or Thermoplastic FRP
TOPOLOGROUP offers two types of fiberglass honeycomb panels with thermoplastic skin and with thermosetting skin. Although they look similar, they have different structures and characteristics, so they are also different in some applications.
Thermosetting Skin Fiberglass Honeycomb Panels
Its skin material is thermosetting FRP, which has a harder texture and a smooth and clean surface.
Processing technology: adhesive bonding.
Skin: smooth FRP panel. (Thickness: 0.7-5.0mm)
Core material: Polypropylene honeycomb. (Density: 80-120kg/m³; Cell size(mm) :8mm, 10mm, 12mm)
Thermoplastic Skin Fiberglass Honeycomb Panels
Its skin is thermoplastic FRP (CFRT – Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic), which is extremely rigid and more durable than thermosetting FRP, and it is completely recyclable.
Processing technology: thermoplastic composite.
Skin: CFRT. (Thickness: 0.7-2.0mm or customized)
Core: Polypropylene Honeycomb. (Density: 80-120kg/m³; Cell size(mm) :8mm, 10mm, 12mm)
The surface of the fiberglass honeycomb panel can be finished in different colors and patterns, which not only enhances its aesthetics, but also brings stronger practical effects. Through customized surface treatment, the panel can be perfectly integrated with various environments and design styles to meet the needs of different application scenarios.
Typical Application of Fiberglass Honeycomb Panels
Fiberglass honeycomb composite panels are widely used in the automotive industry, shipbuilding, aviation, agriculture, and sports products.
Truck Bodies
Dry freight trucks, dry cargo trailers, dropside trucks, etc.
RV Bodies
Caravans, teardrop trailers and more.
Marine
The interior facilities of cruise ships and yachts.
Buildings
Mobile buildings, stages, scaffolding, building formwork, etc.
Furniture
Cabinets, partitions, ceilings, tabletops, etc.
Aviation
Aircraft floors, boarding aisles, terminal interior facilities, etc.
Sport Products
Pickleball paddles, portable ping pong tables, etc.
Public Transportation
Floors and partitions of high-speed railways, subways and buses.
