Fiberglass Honeycomb Panels and Their Features and Applications

by Nancy Jemes Blogger

Fiberglass honeycomb panels are ideal for a wide range of applications where a flat, lightweight and rigid panel is required. These panels are manufactured by sandwiching an aramid honeycomb core between layers of self-adhesive fiberglass prepreg. By separating the fiberglass skin with an aramid honeycomb core, the sandwich panel offers greater strength properties than those of the skins alone.

Here are some features and applications of fiberglass honeycomb panels:

Features of Fiberglass Honeycomb Panel:

Weathering: Fiberglass sheet is a thermosetting polymer material that has good temperature resistance, with temperature range in -70℃ ~ 80℃.
Impact Resistance: It greatly improves the anti-impact performance of the product because the product structure contains the glass fiber reinforced material. Fiberglass honeycomb material is not easy to break under the ruins and is storm impact. This is one of the properties that makes it highly suitable to be used across a wide range of applications.
Corrosion Resistance: Fiberglass honeycomb panel is especially suitable to be used in the costal and corrosive places because it has the competence of various acid, alkali, and other chemical corrosion.
The outer space of the fiberglass honeycomb panel reinforced plastic honeycomb panel for adopting the high-quality color gel coat. It has a good chemical stability of the atmosphere, water, and the general concentration of acid, alkali, salt, and another medium. These things are the cause of the layer of special gel coat, high surface finish, lightweight, corrosion resistance, anti-sunlight, and very suitable for colorful car advertising.
This honeycomb panel is lightweight and it can also effectively reduce the weight of a car body, helps increase the load quantity, and improves the quality coefficient of the van.
Fiberglass honeycomb panel repair is very convenient and after repair look is without obvious signs of repair.

Applications of Fiberglass Honeycomb Panel

Fiberglass honeycomb panel is a kind of important engineering wall material and it can solve the problem of using traditional wall material that is not easy to be cleaned, easy to sag deformation, difficult in installation, poor durability, easy to wear, impact-resistant performance is poor. Therefore, around the world, industries have gradually replaced stainless steel sheet and plate with this material. And it has been widely used in transportation and construction field and more industries.

Conclusion:

Fiberglass honeycomb composite panels are one of the highly popular composite materials, and are ideal for applications requiring a flat, lightweight panel. These also offer high strength, stability, and design flexibility.
