CFRT PU Sandwich Panel

The Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (CFRT) Polyurethane (PU) Sandwich Panel combines CFRT sheets with a polyurethane foam core using specialized adhesive. The CFRT skin features multiple layers of unidirectional fiber tapes at different angles, impregnated with thermoplastic resin and often covered with protective film. The closed-cell PU foam core provides thermal insulation and waterproof characteristics, with materials like wood, aluminum, or fiberglass embedded for enhanced stability.

This configuration delivers lightweight construction with densities lower than traditional Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) or aluminum materials. The continuous fiber reinforcement provides high impact resistance and shape recovery after deformation. The sandwich structure maximizes bending stiffness as CFRT facings carry tensile and compressive loads while the foam core resists shear forces.

Available in thicknesses from 10-120 millimeters, widths up to 2.8 meters, and lengths to 12 meters, panels feature customizable foam density and glossy or matte surface finishes. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining enables precise cutting, drilling, and custom fabrication for assembly-ready components.

Primary applications include refrigerated truck bodies, cold storage rooms, mobile cold rooms, and caravan construction. Unlike thermoset FRP variants, the thermoplastic resin matrix offers improved impact resistance and recyclability while maintaining waterproofing and corrosion resistance properties.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

    1. What are the standard panel thicknesses, maximum lengths, and width options available for CFRT PU Sandwich Panels?
    Standard panel thicknesses range from 10mm up to 150mm. Standard widths include 1000mm, 1220mm, and 1500mm, with maximum single-sheet lengths up to 5800mm (5.8m) to fit ocean freight container shipping dimensions.
    2. What are the primary engineering benefits of using CFRT PU Sandwich Panels?
    CFRT PU Sandwich Panels deliver an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, rot-proof moisture resistance, reliable thermal insulation, and dynamic fatigue endurance for high-stress applications.
    3. How do these composite panels perform under high humidity and outdoor weathering?
    The closed-cell core prevents water logging and condensation absorption, while pre-painted skins provide a 20+ year weatherability barrier against UV degradation.
    4. What fire safety ratings and quality certifications do these composite panels meet?
    Flame-retardant formulations meet EN 13501-1 Class B-s1,d0 and GB8624 Class B1 fire performance standards. Manufacturing quality is governed under ISO9001 management systems, with raw material performance verified under SGS and CE testing.
