GRP PVC Sandwich Panel
GRP PVC sandwich panels combine glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) skins bonded to a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foam core, delivering high strength-to-weight ratio with thermal insulation. The closed-cell PVC foam core provides low thermal conductivity while the GRP skins contribute structural rigidity. These panels offer waterproof performance, corrosion resistance to acids and alkalis, and flame retardant capabilities, making them suitable for moisture-exposed and chemically aggressive environments. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +80°C, with anti-ultraviolet additives ensuring color stability and reducing yellowing over time.
The GRP skins utilize either thermosetting resins (unsaturated polyester or epoxy) or thermoplastic variants such as continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRT) sheets. PVC foam cores range from 40 to 250 kg/m³ density, adjustable for compressive strength and insulation requirements. Polyurethane or polyester adhesives bond the layers, preventing delamination under stress. Quality control ensures smooth, flat surfaces free from defects, with tight core-to-skin bonding that resists edge warping.
Standard dimensions reach up to 12 meters in length and 3.2 meters in width, with thickness customizable from 10 mm to 150 mm. Weight typically ranges from 7.0 to 8.6 kg/m² depending on configuration. CNC machining enables precise cutting, drilling, and shaping for complex designs, while standard composite tools facilitate efficient fabrication and assembly.
