What is the difference between Hollow sheet and Polycarbonate honeycomb core?

. Classification of PC honeycomb panels on the market

  There are two types of "Honeycomb core" in the market that always makes people confused. You may ask, which product should I choose? After reading this article, I believe you will find the right "honeycomb core" just for you.

 

  The polycarbonate honeycomb core shows a unique biomimetic structure, similar to the Natural beehive. The honeycomb core comprises circular, round, hole-shaped cells arranged in rows connected to the upper and lower panels. The honeycomb core's I-beam structure provides characteristics of lightweight, high strength, shockproof, thermal insulation, heat insulation and sound insulation. The main fields of application of the polycarbonate honeycomb are deflectors for laminar directional flow ventilation, ventilated curtains for the commercial refrigeration industry, wind tunnels and climatic chambers.

Another product with six-sided cylinders connected is called the Hollow sheet. A polycarbonate sheet with a porous shape. Its advantages include a stable structure, low material consumption, wide coverage, high strength, and light structure. They are mostly used in agricultural greenhouses. Polycarbonate hollow sheet is also used in making canopies, shopping malls, car parking and walkways. 

. Characteristics of our PC honeycomb panels

Our company mainly produces PC honeycomb cores with I-beam structures:

1. It has good permeability, which can greatly reduce the resistance of air circulation and reduce the noise of air circulation. It is difficult to frost in humid and low-temperature conditions, ensuring the even distribution of cold air and reaching a longer distance. Due to the characteristics of the material, the honeycomb is uniform, the inner wall is smooth and clean, and the product surface is flat and non-toxic; it is widely used in refrigeration.

 

2. Due to its lightweight and high strength, it can be perfectly combined with panels of many different materials, such as acrylic, PVC, stone, wood, various metals, etc. When combined, it has a wider range of uses. It can be used as a beautifying lightbox, decoration for home and office environments (partitions, floors, roofs, platforms, etc.), and can also be used as exterior walls.


. Application of our PC honeycomb panels

Application: 

  1. Flow equalization net for display cabinets, refrigerated cabinets and various air volume rectification equipment;

  2. Beautify light boxes, decorative panels, and partition boards.


Using way: 1. Install the current equalizing net directly in the equipment rectifier tank;

  2. Compound PC honeycomb core and various light-transmitting plastic boards into honeycomb decorative panels.

Features: The air permeability reaches 97%, the deformation is very small at low temperatures, the longitudinal direction is not larger than 3mm, the horizontal direction is not larger than 2mm, the air output is uniform, the low-temperature resistance reaches -40℃, beautiful appearance and good light transmittance.


. Specifications of our PC honeycomb panels


Cell size: 3.5mm-8mm, pc honeycomb panel standard size: 1220mm*2440mm, pc honeycomb panel thickness 6mm-100mm (the above can be customized according to customer requirements).


1. The honey core is uniform, the inner wall is smooth and clean, and the product surface is flat, making it the first choice for the air rectification industry.

     2. It is made of polycarbonate material, which is safe and non-toxic. It is the best air curtain product for food display cabinets.

     3. Low-temperature cold shrinkage.

PC honeycomb is also a good material for wind tunnel/air diffuser/air purifier/cold air diversion/rectification of refrigerated display cabinets/display.
