Applications

The potential list of applications using ArmaPET Eco is practically endless, from super-structures of refrigerated and recreational vehicles, to industrial halls, radomes, bath pods, food trolleys and many more.

ArmaPET Eco cored sandwich panels improve the performance, functionality and sustainability of the final application in many ways.

• Long-term stability of insulation properties and low thermal conductivity secure lifetime insulation performance
• Closed-cell structure minimizes moisture penetration and degradation by rodents and insects
• Compatibility with most production methods and resin systems allows for individual manufacturing processes and material combinations
• Solvent stability provides resistance to most acids, salts and fuels
• The homogenous surface solves the print-through challenges of welding lines when using thin and glossy outer skins
• Low weight makes it possible to build lighter vehicles and maximize the payload
• Excellent screw retention allows for conventional fixing methods
