Insulated Sandwich Panel

Insulated sandwich panels are generally used during the construction of walls and roofs of buildings, enclosures of industrial equipments, air conditioning devices etc. The basic function of these panels is to provide protection from weather conditions such as rain, snow etc. Along with it, insulated sandwich panels also provide protection against corrosive factors, moisture, chemicals, fire and many more. Due to their usage across various industries, these panels are available in a variety of designs, with the honeycomb design being widely regarded as the most efficient one due to its optimal mechanical performance and weight.

Insulated sandwich panels are usually made up of three layers. In between two thin skin layers, a low density core is inserted, this is also the reason for these panels to be called as sandwich panels. During its functioning, the low density core takes the shear loads, while also creating a distance between the two skin layers, thus allowing the panel to function properly even under high stress.

Established in the year 1989, Epack Polymers Pvt. Ltd. manufactures and supplies superior grade insulated sandwich panels that are favored by various industrial and commercial sectors. With a wide portfolio of leading names of the automotive and electronics industry as clients, it is one of the leading firms in this sector.

Benefits of insulated sandwich panels: Apart from the benefits mentioned in the first paragraph, sandwich panels provide several added benefits, these are:
  • Making walls and roofs leak proof
  • Noise insulation
  • Good strength parameters, thus allowing for monetary savings in terms of supporting structures
  • Long term incremental monetary savings on electricity bills
Application areas of insulated sandwich panels: To put it simply, sandwich panels are almost always recommended in areas where high structural rigidity and low weight is a necessity. Some application areas of these panels are,
  •     Air-crafts
  •     Packaging
  •     Transportation and auto-motives
  •     Public utility buildings such as gymnasiums, swimming pools etc
  •     Food processing plants
Insulation core within the sandwich panels: The insulation core within the sandwich panels varies a lot, with the core material being used generally falling into either of the below mentioned categories :
  • Polyisocyanurate foam
  • Polyurethane foam
  • Fiberglass or mineral wool ( non combustible)
  • Polystyrene( either expanded or extruded)
