Selecting Composite Core Foam: EPS vs XPS vs PIR

Most procurement officers pick insulation by chasing the lowest unit price until a building code audit catches up. That gap exists because spec sheets rarely show how inconsistent foam density kills thermal performance during real curing cycles. At Rax Panel, we track every manufacturing batch, and we know that properly controlled closed-cell engineering drops thermal…

Key FRP GRP Sandwich Panel Trends in Construction & Design

Most procurement managers still specify aluminum cladding because they fear FRP GRP Sandwich Panel systems will fail health and safety inspections. That hesitation is outdated. Modern continuous fiber thermoplastic layups routinely deliver tensile strength exceeding 100 MPa, which completely removes the need for heavy steel reinforcement in medium-span commercial walls. You do not sacrifice structural…

If your cleaning crew attacks the gelcoat with abrasive pads or high-pH industrial degreasers, you void the chemical resistance that justified the investment. The industry relies on the plastic resin matrix to create a smooth,…
