Two new videos have been added to the video archive section on the sandwich panel.org website. The production line of steel wire mesh sandwich panels and steel EPS sandwich panels is shown. To view the video clips, visit: Sandwich Video Library.
A major builder in the Middle East has requested a quote the supply and installation of 14000 sq m2 of double skinned acoustically insulated metal corrugated wall and roof panels. The panels are required to be 40/65 mm overall thickness, with 0.7 mm inside and outside face sheet thickness. The core would ideally be 40 kg/m3 polyurethane.

Starting April 1st, the 2008 JEC composites show will kick off in Paris. Perhaps the largest composites show in the world, JEC will attract composite companies from around the globe. There is no doubt this years show will focus on energy efficiency with oil prices being at an all time high. Look for new developments in composite sandwich structures, core materials, and manufacturing techniques. Being lightweight is now, more then ever, the key to success…
For a preview on this years show visit CompositesWorld.
EconCore, a manufacturer of core material will be presenting their new core material, a half filled thermoplastic honeycomb, at the JEC show. In this core 50% of the honeycomb cells are filled thus creating 50% more surface area for bonding the face sheets.
If you are attending the JEC show in Paris next week, be sure and check it out.
This is the new section for the latest news, events, and happenings in the world of composite sandwich panels and SIPs. Check back frequently for new materials and the latest applications for sandwich structures.
