FRP facing PET sandwich panels are new lightweight composite materials developed by TOPOLO, which fully combine the advantages of FRP facing and PET foam. Today, as countries around the world advocate sustainable economic development, PET foam sandwich panels, as an environmentally friendly composite material, can be recycled multiple times, reducing material waste and protecting the natural environment.
The advantages of this product are reflected inοΌ
- Lightweight and high strength.
- Waterproof and chemical resistant.
- Flat and not easy to deform.
- Durable.
- Environmentally friendly and recyclable.
- Affordable.
Schematic Diagram
The two sides of the PET foam FRP panel are FRP, and the middle layer is PET foam. The PET foam and FRP are bonded together by adhesive. This process is achieved in a vacuum compressor. By extracting the air between the core material and the FRP skin, the bond is made tighter, achieving an effect similar to that of a mobile phone screen protector.
FRP Facing & PET Foam
- FRP is the abbreviation of fiberglass reinforced plastic, which is a composite material of glass fiber and resin. The surface of TOPOLO FRP is treated with a unique gel coat, and the glass fiber type and arrangement are also diverse to meet different application requirements.
- PET(Polyethylene Terephthalate) foam is a colorless and odorless environmentally friendly material, it is recyclable. It consists of a closed-cell cell structure, so the water absorption rate is extremely low. Compared with other foam materials, PET foam has better temperature resistance and mechanical strength.
Core Material Selection
TOPOLO supplies two types of PET foam cores, virgin PET foam (usually white) and recycled PET foam (usually green).
