Polycarbonate honeycomb panels for translucent applications
Published on 05-05-2015
High translucency is becoming more important for many building applications. This is driven not only by personal taste and design, but also by environmental need for more natural lighting in place of artificial lighting. Structures such as verandas, stadiums, shopping centers, libraries, office buildings and factories benefit from translucent building elements that meet functional and environmental needs while being aesthetically appealing. In many cases for theses application glass is too heavy, too brittle and difficult to install. Building elements based on polymer materials are often preferred over glass due to ease of installation and impact resistance. Using the continuous ThermHex process to produce polycarbonate honeycomb sandwich panels results in outstanding mechanical performance-to-weight ratio with considerable cost saving potential compared to traditional PC or PMMA multiwall panels.
