Lightweighting is one of the development trends in modern engineering structure research. Polypropylene honeycomb panel is a new type of lightweight composite panel, which consists of fiberglass skin and polypropylene honeycomb core. It has the characteristics of light weight, high strength and durability. Its versatility makes it suitable for many applications such as trucks, RVs, buildings, marine, aviation, transportation, interior decoration, etc.

Polypropylene Honeycomb Core
The perfect combination of geometry and mechanics
The unique geometry and excellent mechanical properties of the honeycomb core make the honeycomb structure an outstanding invention in the field of engineering. The geometric layout of the honeycomb unit allows the load to be evenly distributed, providing extremely high strength and stability given sufficient material. The sandwich panel with honeycomb structure reduces weight, increases strength, absorbs energy, and improves material utilization.
Thermosetting FRP Facing & Thermoplastic FRP Facing
Both thermoset FRP and thermoplastic FRP can be used as the skin of polypropylene honeycomb panels. Thermoset FRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) is cured using heat and chemical processes to form a rigid structure and cannot be reshaped once cured. It is known for its high strength and heat and chemical resistance. In contrast, thermoplastic FRP (CFRT – continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic) can be reshaped and reshaped when heated, has flexibility and is easier to recycle. It is known for its high rigidity, high toughness, wear resistance.
Common Applications
- Dry freight trucks, dry cargo trailers, dropside trucks, etc.
- Caravans, teardrop trailers and more.
- The interior facilities of cruise ships and yachts.
- Mobile buildings, stages, scaffolding, building formwork, etc.
- Cabinets, partitions, ceilings, tabletops, etc.
- Aircraft floors, boarding aisles, terminal interior facilities, etc.
- Pickleball paddles, portable ping pong tables, etc.
- Floors and partitions of high-speed railways, subways and buses.
