What’s PET sandwich panels?

PET sandwich panels are made from 100% recyclable eco-friendly materials. PET is a rigid closed-cell foam similar to XPS foam. It is typically bonded together with FRP and CFRT skins. The density of PET foam ranges from 50 to 250 kg/m³. Thicknesses range from 10 to 150 mm. It is widely used for wall panels and flooring in RVs and truck bodies.

Features

PET sandwich panel is a globally recognized 100% recyclable structural plastic core material made from foamed polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Its surface can be seamlessly laminated with continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (CFRT), glass fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP), carbon fiber, aluminum sheets, or plywood to form lightweight, high-rigidity composite panels.

PET offers outstanding properties including low weight, high strength, zero water absorption, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-term durability, even in harsh wet or marine environments. Compared to traditional timber and aluminum, it is more environmentally friendly, significantly stronger and lighter, and achieves full closed-loop recyclability, making it the superior green core material widely used in refrigerated transport, marine engineering, wind turbine blades, and modern construction.

Application

PET sandwich panels can be used in lighter and stronger applications due to their lightweight, high-strength, and non-absorbent properties. For example, in construction, dry vans, RVs, manufacturing, and housing.

  • For RVs: PET foam sandwich panels are suitable for RV wall panels, flooring, and other structural applications. They can replace wood and steel panels.
  • For truck panels: PET foam panels are suitable for manufacturing dry cargo truck bodies.
  • Horse trailers: PET foam sandwich panels are suitable for horse trailer production, offering high strength, sound insulation, and waterproofing.
  • Construction: Wall panels, floors, roofs, and partitions.
  • Manufacturing: baffles and protective plates for equipment, large packaging materials.
  • Furniture: It can be used to manufacture bedboards, headboards, tables, chairs, etc.

FAQ

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) foam is a lightweight, durable, versatile material. Many industries use it. Specific applications include:

Transportation Industry:
PET foam sheets can make truck boxes, RVs, and cars. They reduce weight, improve fuel efficiency, and save money.

Wind power industry:
You can use it to produce the web and shell of wind blades, and also to make the nacelle cover. So, PET is an excellent material for wind blades.

Marine:
You can use it for plywood and cabin wall panels, roofs, bulkheads, etc. for ships.

Construction industry:
You can use it to produce wall panels for houses, roofs, etc. It can provide good support.

The R-value of PET foam depends on its thickness and density. If it insulates well, the thermal conductivity is 0.030 W/mK at 50 mm thick. It is a very good insulator.

PET foam is a recyclable material that is eco-friendly and has excellent properties.

PET has excellent flame retardancy and non-toxic properties. It also has high temperature, wear, and fatigue resistance.

The performance of PET is better than that of PVC, and it is better than the stiffness and strength of PVC.
