SANDWICH PANELS

• A SANDWICH PANEL IS ANY STRUCTURE MADE OF THREE LAYERS; A

LOW DENSITY CORE AND A THIN SKIN-LAYER BONDED TO EACH
SIDE.
• IT IS IDEALLY SUITED FOR AN APPLICATION WHERE HGH
STRUCTURAL RIGIDITY AND LOW WEIGHT IS REQD.
• CORE CAN BE HONEYCOMB OR SOLID FILLING.
• SKIN-LAYERS: STRONG/WATERPROOF ETC.
• GENERALLY GOOD ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE.
APPLICATION :
 AIRCRAFT BODY.
 AUTOMOTIVE AND TRANSPORTATION
 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION. - PREFABRICATED PRODUCT
USED AS ENVELOPES
( USED IN INDUSTRIAL BLDGS., OFFICE BLDGS.,
PRIVATE HOUSES, CLEAN AND COLD ROOMS)
CHARACTERISTICS:
 THERMAL RESISTANCE:
U VALUE OF PANEL DEPEND ON CORE MATERIAL AND
CORE THICKNESS.
 ACOUSTIC INSULATION :
SOUND REDUCTION OF 25 DB FOR PUF PANELS
AND 35 DB FOR MINERAL WOOL PANELS.
 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES:
- THICKNESS VARIES FROM 40 MM TO 200 MM
- DENSITY VARIES FROM 10 TO 35 KG/M3
- MINERAL WOOL CORE PANEL WALL IS MORE SUITABLE FOR
EXTERIOR PANELS THAN PUF PANELS.
 THE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM OF SANDWICH PANELS CREATE AIR AND
WATER-TIGHT BUILDINGS.
TYPES

• STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS

• ACP
STRUCTUTAL INSULATED PANELS
STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS :

• SIPS ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDINGS PANELS USED IN

 WALLS
 ROOFS AND
 FLOORS OF RESIDENTIAL BLDGS.
• PANELS ARE MADE BY SANDWICHING A CORE OF RIGID FOAM
INSULATION BETWEEN TWO SKINS OF WOOD STRUCTURAL PANEL
-ORIENTED STRAND BOARDS (O.S.B).
• THE FOAM CORE IS USUALLY - EXPANDED POLY STYRENE (EPS) .
- POLY URETHANE (PUF)
• STRUCTURAL ADHESIVES ARE USED TO ADHERE SKIN TO FOAM.
• THE PANELS CAN BE FABRICATED AT SITE OR IN MANUFACTURING
PLANTS.
• CHASING ARE MADE FOR ELECTRICAL/ DATA CABLE CONDUITS
IN THE CORE.
• CHANNELS ARE MADE IN CORE EDGES FOR SPLINES OR
DIMENSIONAL WOODEN INSERTS.
• SIZES 1220X2440 AND 1220X3050
• THICKNESSES : 40mm to 200mm
ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE PANELS
(ACP)
ALUMINUM COMPOSITE PANELS :
• ALUMINUM COMPOSITE PANEL CONSISTING OF TWO THIN COIL-
COATED ALUMINUM SHEETS BONDED TO INERT, FIRE RETARDANT CORE
(Mg .HYDROXIDE) OR ANY NON ALUMINUM MATERIAL.
• PREDOMINANTLY USED FOR EXTERNAL BUILDING CLADDINGS. ALSO
USED FOR -PARTITIONS
- FALSE CEILINGS
- SINAGE INDUSTRY
• ALUMINIUM SHEETS CAN BE TREATED WITH PVDF (POLY VINYLIDENE
FLUORIDE) – A THERMOSTATIC SUBSTANCE RESISTANT SOLVENTS.
• ACPS ARE AVAILABLE IN THICKNESS 3-4 MM
AL COIL 0.12 TO 0.5 MM TH
CORE 2 TO 3 MM
ORIENTED STRAND BOARD
ORIENTED STRAND BOARD:
• OSB IS A TYPE OF ENGINEERED WOOD SIMILAR TO PARTICLE
BOARD FORMED BY ADDING ADHESIVES (UREA
FORMALDEHYDE/FHENOL FORMALDEHYDE) AND COMPRESSING
LAYERS OF WOOD STRANDS.

• OSB HAS ROUGH SURFACE WITH INDIVIDUAL STRIPS AROUND 25

MM X 150 MM LYING UNEVENLY EACH OTHER. AVAILABLE IN
DIFFERENT TYPES AND THICKNESS.

• PROPERTIES
– PANELS ARE STRONG AND RIGID.
– HAVE NO INTERNAL GAPS OR VOIDS.
– REASONABLY WATER RESISTANT.
– GOOD LOAD BEARING CAPACITY.
