Cold Room Panels

Cold room panels, also known as insulated panels, are essential components in constructing cold storage facilities. These panels are designed to maintain specific temperature conditions inside the cold room, crucial for preserving perishable goods like food, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive items.

FRP Facing Cold Room Panels

FRP facing cold room panels are made of lightweight foam (XPS, PU foam) materials with good thermal insulation properties as the inner core, and gel-coated glass fiber reinforced plastic sheets as the facing, and various materials can be embedded inside the core to enhance the structural strength of the panel.

Compared with traditional metal foam sandwich panels, the advantages of this new type of cold room panel are as follows:

  • Better Thermal Insulation Performance

The thermal conductivity of FRP sheets is much lower than that of metal (aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, etc.) sheets, so its thermal insulation performance is more outstanding. FRP foam sandwich panels minimize heat loss and energy consumption and ensure stable internal temperatures, extending the shelf life and safety of stored items.

  • More Lightweight

FRP foam sandwich panels are lighter than metal foam sandwich panels and have significant advantages in transportation, installation and operation, making them more suitable for movable cold rooms.

  • More Hygienic

FRP sheets with added antibacterial agents can inhibit the growth of microorganisms, have long-lasting antibacterial effects, and have good self-cleaning functions. Suitable for storing food, medicine and other products with high hygiene requirements.

  • Corrosion Resistant

FRP sheets do not react with general acid and alkali chemicals and can resist corrosive gases, liquids and solids. They are suitable for refrigeration facilities that store corrosive substances or operate in corrosive environments. When there are stains attached to the surface, you only need to clean it with cleaning fluid or water.

  • Easier to Install

FRP foam sandwich panels are easier to cut and process. TOPOLO’s cold room panels adopt a one-piece composite panel production process and modular design, making transportation and assembly easier and faster. The panel size is larger than that of metal foam sandwich panels, with the maximum size up to 12mx3.2m.

Advantages of using PU/XPS foam as insulation material

  • Excellent thermal insulation performance: PU and XPS foam have much lower thermal insulation properties than other foams (such as EPP, EPS). Both foam materials are widely used in cold storage insulation, and each has some characteristics and advantages:
  • Durability: PU and XPS foam have good durability and stability, are not susceptible to moisture, corrosion or deformation, and can maintain their insulation properties for a long time, reducing the need for maintenance and replacement.

Application of new FRP sheets (CFRT Sheets) in cold room panels

What is CFRT?

CFRT (Continuously Reinforced Thermoplastic) sheet is made from multiple layers of thermoplastic unidirectional tape laid at different angles (90°/0°) and thermally laminated. This gives it extremely high mechanical strength both transversely and longitudinally.

As a facing material for cold room panels, the new FRP sheet – CFRT sheet, which has more stable performance, longer service life and lower price, has been favored by many manufacturers in the field of thermal insulation.
