Composite Panels
The need to find constantly new solutions to increasingly customised and binding projects, with ever more stringent regulations, has given rise to the creation of various types of composite panels. Each panel arises from a requirement, mainly of a technical-constructive nature.
The wide choice of materials and bonding products has allowed the creation of interesting combinations to solve or improve various construction issues.
Examples include solutions for lightening hanging structures, lowering fire loads or increasing thermal and acoustic insulation power.
These are just some of the factors, perhaps the most relevant, that have given rise to the combination of multiple construction solutions which are then placed in the most diverse industrial sectors, including construction, maritime, acoustic, raised flooring, hospital, railway and aeronautics.
The peculiarity of composite panels is inherent in the very meaning of the word itself; they can be composed according to each project and thus be tailor-made to meet the client’s needs.
The green issue of recyclability and subsequent disposal has also become a relevant topic in the world of composite panels.
The need to find panels and adhesives with low formaldehyde emissions has changed materials and production processes over time, improving the quality of atmospheric emissions.
The use of recycled or reclaimed panels has given a new life to materials that initially had a completely different use. For example, once treated, a Coke can becomes an aluminium sheet used in the production of panels for shipbuilding.
This is just one of many examples, highlighting the importance of the subject especially in some countries, with project specifications where constraints on safety, personal health and pollution are now a full-fledged part of projects.
