Aluminum Core Panel

A: An aluminum honeycomb panel is a lightweight, high-strength composite panel made of two aluminum skin sheets bonded to an aluminum honeycomb core under high temperature and pressure. The hexagonal honeycomb structure provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior flatness. Common skin materials include 3003 and 5052 aluminum alloy, with surface finishes such as PVDF coating, PE coating, or anodizing.

A: Common specifications:
• Total thickness: 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm (customizable)
• Skin thickness: 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm
• Core cell size: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm
• Standard panel size: 1220×2440mm, 1500×3000mm (max 2000×6000mm)
• Core density: 60–120 kg/m³
• Surface finishes: PVDF, PE, anodizing, wood-grain transfer

A: The typical MOQ is 50–100 square meters, depending on specifications and surface finish. Custom or non-standard sizes may require adjusted MOQs. Larger orders enjoy better unit pricing. Please provide your specific size and quantity requirements for an accurate quotation.

A: Common applications:
• Building facades: high-rise curtain walls, airports, exhibition centers
• Interior decoration: ceilings, partitions, elevator interiors, wall cladding
• Transportation: train interiors, metro station cladding, marine interiors
• Industrial: cleanroom panels, equipment housings, machine tables
• Furniture: high-end cabinet panels, display stands, signage
• Aerospace: aircraft interior panels, overhead bins

A: ① Lighter weight: only 1/3 to 1/5 the weight of solid aluminum at the same thickness
② Superior flatness: honeycomb core ensures rigidity and resists deformation
③ Sound & heat insulation: air pockets in the core provide good insulation
④ High wind-load resistance: ideal for large-area curtain walls
⑤ Lower installation cost: lightweight means easier transport and faster installation
⑥ Eco-friendly: 100% recyclable aluminum, meeting green building standards

A: • PVDF (Fluorocarbon): best weather resistance, 25+ year lifespan, recommended for exterior walls
• PE (Polyester): rich colors, cost-effective, suitable for interiors and semi-exposed areas
• Anodizing: hard surface, metallic look, wear and corrosion resistant
• Wood-grain / stone-grain transfer: realistic decorative effect for interiors and furniture
• Brushed / mirror finish: unique metallic texture for high-end commercial spaces

A: Yes. The panel is rated Class A fire-resistant (non-combustible) under GB 8624. Both the aluminum skins and honeycomb core are metal and will not burn or release toxic fumes. The product meets fire-safety requirements for building facades and public transport applications. Third-party fire test reports are available upon request.

Actual delivery time depends on order volume and current production schedule. Contact our sales team for a confirmed timeline. Rush orders may be accommodated.

A: Packaging: Each panel is separated by PE protective film, wrapped in corrugated cardboard or reinforced wooden crates with corner protectors.
Shipping:
• Domestic: dedicated logistics or LTL delivery with door-to-door service
• International: FCL/LCL sea freight (FOB/CIF terms), 20GP or 40HQ containers
Our standardized protective packaging keeps transit damage to a minimum. We assist with claims in the rare event of shipping damage.

A: Installation methods:
• Curtain wall (dry-hang): aluminum brackets attached to the main structure - for building facades
• Adhesive bonding: structural adhesive or double-sided tape - for interior cladding
• Screw fixing: pre-drilled holes with countersunk screws - for ceilings and partitions
• Frame insertion: panels slotted into aluminum frame profiles - for doors, cabinets, displays
Facade projects should use certified professional installers. Interior applications can be handled by general fit-out teams, following the supplier's installation guide. We offer technical support.
