FAQ

What are aluminium honeycomb panels and cores, and what are their main applications?

Aluminium honeycomb core is a composite material formed by laminating multiple layers of aluminium foil and stretching them into a regular hexagonal honeycomb cell structure. Aluminium honeycomb panels are composed of two aluminium face sheets bonded to an aluminium honeycomb core with high-strength adhesive, creating a “sandwich” structure that offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and structural stability.

Key applications include: toilet partitions, office partitions, interior partition walls; building facades, ceiling systems; vehicle and marine decoration, rail transit; clean rooms, laboratory partitions.

What are the core advantages of aluminium honeycomb panels compared to traditional building materials?

Aluminium honeycomb panels offer lightweight yet high strength – bending stiffness approximately 5 times that of aluminium at equal weight. They maintain high flatness as the honeycomb structure resists deformation. The all-metal material is non-combustible with fire rating up to B1. They are moisture and corrosion resistant, suitable for high-humidity environments like bathrooms, passing 48-hour salt spray tests with no pitting. The honeycomb structure provides excellent sound insulation, thermal insulation, and shock absorption. The panels are eco-friendly with no harmful emissions and are fully recyclable. PVDF coating maintains colour for 15–20 years with strong weather resistance.

Which industries and applications are aluminium honeycomb panels suitable for?

Aluminium honeycomb panels are widely used in public restrooms including schools, malls, offices, hospitals, stations, and airports; building decoration such as interior partitions, high partitions, and ceiling systems; commercial spaces like hotels, clubs, exhibition halls, and conference rooms; transportation including high-speed rail, metro, and vehicle interiors; and industrial facilities such as clean rooms and factory partitions.

What specifications and parameters are available for aluminium honeycomb panels?

Our aluminium honeycomb products offer a wide range of specifications. Foil thickness ranges from 0.04mm to 0.2mm. Cell sizes include 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm. Face sheet materials are primarily Aluminium Alloy 3003H24 or 3003H18. Face sheet thickness is customizable from 0.5mm to 1.5mm. Finished panel thickness ranges from 10mm to 100mm. Standard panel sizes are 1220×2440mm and 1220×3000mm, with maximum size up to 1800×6000mm. Service temperature ranges from -55℃ to +170℃. Tensile strength is no less than 280MPa.

How do I select the right specifications for my application?

Selection depends on the specific application scenario. For toilet partitions, we recommend panel thickness 18–32mm, cell size 5–6mm, and face thickness 0.8–1.0mm. For office partitions, recommend 18–26mm panel thickness, 6mm cell size, 0.8mm face thickness. For facades and curtain walls, recommend 20–50mm panel thickness, 6–10mm cell size, 1.0–1.5mm face thickness. For ceiling systems, recommend 10–20mm panel thickness, 5mm cell size, 0.5–0.8mm face thickness. For vehicle and marine decoration, recommend 10–25mm panel thickness, 5–6mm cell size, 0.6–1.0mm face thickness. In general, higher load-bearing requirements call for thicker face sheets and smaller cell sizes; lightweight requirements call for thinner face sheets and larger cell sizes; high fire resistance requirements suggest all-aluminium construction with PVDF/fluorocarbon coating; high-humidity environments require corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy with proper surface treatment.

What are the performance characteristics regarding strength, temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and other properties?

Aluminium honeycomb panels excel in multiple performance indicators. In terms of strength, bending stiffness is approximately 5 times that of aluminium at equal weight, with lightweight density and high specific strength. Temperature resistance ranges from -55℃ to +170℃. Fire performance reaches B1 rating as all-metal non-combustible material. Corrosion resistance is ensured through aluminium substrate with fluorocarbon coating, passing 48-hour salt spray tests with no pitting. Sound insulation is excellent due to the honeycomb structure effectively blocking sound transmission. High flatness and dimensional stability are provided by the hexagonal honeycomb structure. Impact resistance is strong with good energy absorption capability.

Do you support customization of dimensions, materials, and specifications? What is the customization process?

Yes, we offer full customization. Dimensions are customizable per drawing requirements up to 1800×6000mm. Panel thickness is adjustable from 10–100mm. Material options include aluminium alloy, galvanised steel, stainless steel, and more. Surface treatment supports PVDF coating, powder coating, anodizing, wood grain transfer, and others. Honeycomb specifications are adjustable with cell size 4–12mm and foil thickness 0.03–0.2mm. Processing methods include custom processing per drawing, per sample, or full-service manufacturing. The customization process is: submit drawings or sample requirements → we evaluate and propose a solution → sample confirmation (if required) → mass production.

What information is required when placing an order? What is the procurement process?

Please provide the following information when placing an order: application scenario; finished dimensions (length × width × thickness); face sheet material and thickness (e.g. Aluminium 3003H24, 1.0mm); honeycomb specifications (cell size, foil thickness, core height); surface treatment requirements (colour, coating type); quantity (square metres or number of pieces); accessories required (locks, hinges, support feet, etc.); target price (budget range if any); delivery address (destination port or receiving address).

The procurement process is: inquiry (provide the above information) → quotation (we issue a formal quotation) → confirmation (confirm specifications, price, and delivery) → order (sign contract, pay deposit) → production (manufacture per order) → shipment (quality inspection, packing, and dispatch).

What quality assurance system is in place? What testing standards are applied?

We have established a comprehensive quality control system. Raw materials use high-quality aluminium alloy (3003H24/H18, etc.) meeting national standards. Production uses fully automated equipment with roll forming and automatic folding. Testing equipment includes tensile testers, salt spray test chambers, UV accelerated weathering testers, and more. Coating undergoes full testing for gloss, hardness, adhesion, weather resistance, and corrosion resistance. Dimensional tolerance inspection is performed for every batch. Each batch undergoes 100% inspection before shipment. We commit that all products meet export quality standards, PVDF fluorocarbon coating weather resistance reaches 15–20 years, and warranty certificates are available upon request.
