The Aluminum HoneyComb Panel Specialist

Honeycomb Structure


Product Features

Lightweight

AHPs weights only 1/5 of a conventional aluminium panel and 1/10 of a steel panel of the same size and rigidity. A typical AHP exhibits the same rigidity as 4mm piece of solid aluminum panel.

Sound Insulation

The cores of AHPs comprise cells fully isolated from each other, thus blocking the flow of air and retarding the transmission of sound waves to produce good acoustic insulation.

Economical and Eco-friendly

AHPs require much less raw aluminium to achieve the same rigidity as aluminium composite panels (ACPs) and aluminium solid panels, making them not only competitive in pricing but also environmentally friendly.

Excellent Strength

AHPs honeycomb structures give them excellent geometric resistance, allowing them to withstand external street even in extreme conditions

Heat Insulation and Fire Proofing

The fully isolated cells also serve to retard the transmission of heat, thus making AHPs a material that demonstrates strong heat insulating and fire proofing qualities.

Tough Construction

The honeycomb construction of AHPs provides outstanding strength and ability to withstand shock and damage, making it superior compared to more fragile conventional materials.

High Durability

AHPs are constructed in such a way that they can retain their shape perfectly even over long periods of time and when exposed to external elements like sun and rain.


Comparison & Benefits

Honeycomb versus other core materials

While many other kinds of materials such as foam and wood-based products are used as core material for panels, honeycomb is still the optimum choice that is superior in every way.
