Do you know about CFRT laminated XPS foam core sandwich panels? Yes, it is a lightweight sandwich panel with a continuous fiberglass skin. CFRT is an advanced version of FRP, with continuous fibers and higher strength. Combined with the low density of XPS foam, the CFRT skin makes the panels stronger yet lightweight.
Product Advantages
- Lightweight: CFRT sheets are thinner than typical GRP sheets, and when combined with lightweight XPS foam core, the resulting sandwich panels are much lighter than composite panels with similar strength properties.
- High Strength: CFRT provides high tensile strength and stiffness, allowing panels to withstand considerable loads while remaining lightweight.
- Thermal Insulation: XPS foam core has excellent thermal insulation properties, making CFRT XPS sandwich panels suitable for applications requiring temperature control, such as the construction and transportation industries.
- Durability: CFRT composites are known for their durability and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation. This durability, combined with the protective XPS core material, extends the life of CFRT XPS sandwich panels.
Structure Schematic Diagram
- CFRT Sheet: It is a multi-layer continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (UP Tapes) that has higher strength and rigidity than thermosetting GRP materials. More
- XPS Foam: It is a lightweight closed-cell rigid foam with excellent thermal insulation properties, which can effectively insulate, reduce energy consumption, and provide a comfortable indoor environment. More
