COMMERCIAL VEHICLE INDUSTRY

Sandwich panels are essential components in the construction of modern commercial vehicles. They are used as a substitute for traditional single layer steel or aluminium in automotive body components, offering significant improvements in reducing vehicle weight, reducing parts and streamlining the body assembly process.

With the right core materials, sandwich panels also offer outstanding thermal efficiency. This combination of lightweight construction and high performance insulation makes sandwich panels an ideal choice for constructing truck bodies and semi-trailers.

WHAT IS A COMPOSITE SANDWICH PANEL?

Sandwich panels get their name from their layered construction, consisting of two stiffer faces with a light foam material between. The use of these panels reduces production costs and offers greater design flexibility for vehicle manufacturers. They are unique in that they are lightweight while offering high mechanical strength and load-bearing structural properties.

The core usually consists of a lightweight plastic foam, which provides the insulation. Composite sandwich panels utilise special materials with key features such as low weight, high stiffness and high strength. This design has enormous mechanical advantages.

KEY COMPONENTS OF A COMPOSITE SANDWICH PANEL

Each layer in the sandwich panel has an important function that contributes to the overall performance of a commercial vehicle, as described below:

The core usually consists of a lightweight plastic foam, which provides the insulation. Composite sandwich panels utilise special materials with key features such as low weight, high stiffness and high strength. This design has enormous mechanical advantages.

The faces of a sandwich panel absorb traction and carry the tensile and compressive stresses in the sandwich. A commonly used material is flat glass-fibre reinforced composite (GRP) sheeting. The local flexural rigidity is so small it can often be ignored. 

The core’s function is to resist shear and thrust forces, supporting the faces so that they do not buckle. The material used must have several important characteristics. It has to be stiff enough to keep the distance between the face’s constant while also be so rigid in shear that the faces do not slide over each other. The core has to fulfil the most complex demands in a sandwich structure with special demands for buckling, insulation, absorption of moisture, ageing resistance, etc.

A durable adhesive between the faces and the core must be able to withstand and transfer shear forces and tensile stresses between them to ensure they continue cooperating with each other. The adhesive should generally be able to withstand the same shear stress as the core.

JACKODUR® CFR PRODUCT BROCHURE

FINISH OPTIONS:

JACKODUR® FT

JACKODUR® FT boards are manufactured using a precise, planing process. Following the manufacturing process, the board surface is milled in order to create a flat surface, which is a high priority when laminating composite sandwich panels. The thickness tolerance of JACKODUR® FT is +/- 0.15 mm.

JACKODUR® FTR

JACKODUR® FTR boards are manufactured using a precise, planing and grooving process. Following the manufacturing process, the board surface is planed and grooved. The grooves are spaced 40 mm apart on both sides of the board and have an optimised depth and breadth of 2 mm. The planing process creates a flat surface, while the grooves allow adhesive to be spread evenly and prevent entrapped air from forming during production of composite sandwich panels. Groove depths can be customised on request. The thickness tolerance of FTR is +/- 0.15 mm.

JACKODUR® FTS

The embossed surface provides increased shear strength. The embossing also ensures that the end product has an even surface.
