Facing Layers for Sandwich Panels
The face layers influence many of the properties of sandwich panels. Depending on the application, different materials and configurations are used to achieve optimal results.
The face layers have a significant impact on the appearance, surface quality, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and machinability of sandwich panels. Coratec primarily manufactures face layers made of aluminum and fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) and, thanks to its ability to produce large-format panels, can deliver high-quality solutions for demanding applications.
Additional Finishing Options
-
Inserts
Inserts can be used to enhance the functionality of sandwich panels. For example, they serve as attachment points for hardware or as local reinforcements.
Typical Applications Mounting hinges, locks, or gas springsIntegration of Cable TraysReinforcement of heavily loaded areasGo to the details page -
Edge Seals
The edges of sandwich panels are often sealed for protection or for aesthetic reasons. Exposed edges are mechanically vulnerable or can absorb moisture.
