Product Features

FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) foam sandwich panels are a popular choice for truck bodies because they combine lightweight construction, durability, insulation properties, and environmental resistance. These panels consist of a foam core sandwiched between two layers of a composite material made of FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic).

• Lightweight

The foam core in the sandwich panels helps keep the truck body lightweight, which improves fuel efficiency and payload capacity. The FRP outer layer also contributes to the overall lightweighting, which is critical to maximizing payload.

• Strength and Durability

FRP is known for its strength, toughness, and ability to withstand rough handling. It is also highly resistant to physical damage, such as cracks or dents, which makes it ideal for truck bodies exposed to heavy use and impact.

• Thermal Insulation

The foam core provides excellent thermal insulation, which is critical for transporting temperature-sensitive cargo, such as refrigerated goods, pharmaceuticals, food. This insulation helps maintain a consistent interior temperature and reduces the energy consumption of the refrigeration system, which improves overall energy efficiency.

• Corrosion and Chemical Resistance

FRP panels are highly resistant to corrosion, unlike metal materials that will rust in harsh environments. This makes them suitable for use in trucks that may be exposed to moisture, road salt, or chemicals, such as when transporting food or hazardous materials.

• Impact Resistance

The combination of the foam core and FRP skin gives the panels a high level of impact resistance, helping to prevent damage to the truck body in the event of a bump or collision. This helps extend the life of the truck body and reduce repair costs.

• UV Resistance

FRP has excellent resistance to UV radiation, which means that the truck body is less likely to degrade or discolor when exposed to the sun for a long time. This is especially beneficial for trucks operating in areas with strong sunlight or long exposure.

• Easy Maintenance

Compared to metal truck bodies, FRP foam sandwich panels are easier to maintain and repair. They do not require frequent painting, and if damage occurs, the repair process is generally simpler and cheaper.

FRP foam sandwich panels can be customized to specific requirements, such as different thicknesses, sizes, surface colors, and insulation levels. This flexibility allows manufacturers to design truck bodies for specific types of cargo.
