Aluminum Honeycomb Panel as Cost Efficient Material

　　Aluminum honeycomb panel proves to be cost efficient raw materials for interior ceilings and exterior wall curtain boards, because it boasts extraordinary advantages overshadowing other materials.

　　Aluminum honeycomb panel performs good sound absorption property. In aluminum industry, there are three traditional types of products that have absorbs sound: aluminum gusset plate, aluminum single board and aluminum square frames. Aluminum gusset plate is usually applied for ceilings rather than exterior boards. Aluminum square frames help to give dimensional effect. Besides, they are not suitable to be perforated. Therefore, aluminum single board becomes the most widely applied sound absorbing board. Although it has lower price than aluminum honeycomb panel, it’s much less cost efficient, because it’s simply a piece of drilled aluminum plate. Honeycomb panel differs from single board in unique shape of its honeycomb cores. Hexagon structure of the cores have closed space with still air, which adds to strength to the panel. What’s more, the thickness of a panel is no less than 6mm, which is much thicker than commonly used single boards with a thickness of only 2.5mm or 3.0mm. Generally speaking, aluminum honeycomb panels can withstand at least 1000kg without deformation. Super quality panels remain safe and sound under pressure of 1760 kg load. Good sound absorption and excellent strength make aluminum honeycomb panel perfect cost efficient material for ceilings of metro stations.

　　Aluminum honeycomb panel also enjoys a high water proof level. International organizations set six levels for materials of water proof property. B3 stands for materials that catches fire very easily. B2 represents those with a certain degree of anti-fire ability but burning immediately at high temperature. B1 is labeled for fire proof things that stop burning after the fire source is moved away. A2 materials do not burn but give off smoke. A1 does not catches fire. Materials of A, the highest level, never catches fire or have smoke under any circumstances. Aluminum honeycomb panel is not of A or A1 level, but of AA! That’s why it’s of higher price but still popular!
