Structure of Truck Body Panel
PET foam cores offer broad compatibility and efficiently laminate with various skin materials, including FRP, aluminum, stainless steel, color-coated steel, and plywood.
Features of Truck Body Fiberglass PET Foam Panel
- Lightweight: FRP PET foam panels are lighter than traditional materials.
- High strength: FRP PET foam sandwich panels have good compressive strength and impact strength, which can provide effective body protection.
- Heat insulation: FRP PET foam composite panels have good thermal insulation properties, which can help keep the temperature in the car stable.
- Waterproof: FRP PET foam sandwich panels have good waterproof and moisture resistance, suitable for use in various climate conditions.
- Chemical Resistance: PET foam is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals and solvents.
- Easy to process: PET foam panels are easy to cut, shape, and install, with customization options available to meet specific requirements.
- Eco-friendly: PET foam can be recycled.
- Flat & Smooth surface: Low wind resistance, easy to clean, and convenient for the customizing body color, brand logo or advertising.
- Anti-scratch: The panel uses continuous glass fiber reinforced plastic as the surface layer, providing anti-scratch performance and extending the panel’s service life.
Fiberglass PET Foam Sandwich Panels
CARBODY has successfully developed CFRT (Continuous Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic), a material that exhibits significantly higher toughness than traditional thermosetting FRP. It is extremely light, thin, and strong. This is an important technological innovation in the field of materials science.
Applications
Fiberglass PET composite panels are lighter, stronger, more durable, and cheaper than traditional metal or wood. Widely used in RV and box truck manufacturing for wall panels, floors, partitions, and roof panels.
