Description
- CFRT Sheet is a new type of FRP sheet, which is laminated by multiple layers of continuous fiber reinforced tapes. CFRT sheets are characterized by a flexible design with a choice of fiber type, fiber content and fiber orientation to meet special requirements. The light weight and high strength of CFRT material, low thickness, plus beautiful appearance, is a breakthrough in the boundaries of traditional metal and plastic materials. Products made of CFRT materials can be recycled at the end of their useful life, and it is a model for sustainable materials.
- The PET foam core is a closed-cell rigid foam that is laminated with CFRT for strength and light weight.
CFRT Skin VS FRP Skin
Although thermosetting plastics are high in specific strength and specific modulus, and resistant to corrosion, its toughness is relatively poor. It is also unrecyclable and unable longtime storage. Comparatively, thermoplastic panels are effective to cover these shortages.
Schematic Diagram
The composite sandwich panel is a sandwich structure with 2 skins on both sides and a foam core or honeycomb core in the middle. It is low in density and high in rigidity. The material has been widely used in aerospace, energy, automotive and other engineering fields. The panel is resistant to bending deformation, able to maintain stability under strong bending loads. It is also good at absorbing impact energy.
Application in Dry Freight Truck Bodies
CFRT Skin PET foam sandwich panels can be used as floors, wall panels, roof panels and interior partitions for dry cargo trucks. It can greatly reduce the weight of dry cargo trucks, increase load capacity and travel distance.
