Aluminum Honeycomb Compact Board
Ultra-lightweight panels with excellent sound insulation
Quick Specifications
Product Overview
Aluminum Honeycomb Compact Board is an advanced composite panel combining HPL face sheets with an aluminum honeycomb core structure, creating an ultra-lightweight yet exceptionally rigid building material. The manufacturing process involves bonding high-pressure laminate skins (both sides) to an aluminum honeycomb core using structural adhesives under controlled pressure and temperature. The honeycomb core consists of aluminum foil (0.02-0.08mm thickness) formed into hexagonal cells (cell size typically 6-12mm), providing extraordinary strength-to-weight ratio. Panel thickness ranges from 10mm to 50mm, with the honeycomb core occupying 80-90% of the thickness while contributing minimal weight. Total panel density is remarkably low at 3-8 kg/m² (compared to 15-30 kg/m² for solid compact board of equivalent thickness), enabling easier handling, reduced structural load requirements, and lower transportation costs. The honeycomb structure provides exceptional flatness and dimensional stability even in large panel sizes (up to 1500×4000mm), preventing warping or sagging that occurs with solid panels. Excellent sound insulation properties result from the air-filled honeycomb cells which absorb and dampen acoustic energy. Thermal insulation is superior to solid panels due to the air gaps within the honeycomb structure. Fire resistance meets Class B1 standards (GB 8624) with aluminum core providing non-combustible barrier. The HPL face sheets offer all standard laminate benefits: scratch resistance, stain resistance, UV stability, weather resistance, and extensive design options including wood grains, solid colors, metallic finishes, and stone patterns. Ideal for curtain wall systems, exterior cladding, interior partition walls, ceiling panels, exhibition displays, transportation interiors (trains, buses, yachts), and any application requiring maximum rigidity with minimum weight. Meets international standards including ASTM C365 for flatwise compressive strength and EN 14509 for sandwich panels.

Applications
Building Curtain Wall and Facade Systems
Exterior UseRevolutionizing modern architecture with ultra-lightweight curtain wall panels that dramatically reduce structural load requirements while maintaining superior flatness and rigidity. The aluminum honeycomb core enables large-format facade panels (up to 1500×4000mm) that remain perfectly flat without the warping or oil-canning effects common in thin metal composite panels. Architects specify honeycomb panels for high-rise buildings where reducing dead load on the structure is critical for both structural engineering and foundation cost optimization. The lightweight nature (3-8 kg/m² vs. 15-30 kg/m² for solid panels) allows for simplified curtain wall framing systems with reduced aluminum extrusion requirements. Installation is faster and safer as panels can be handled by smaller crews without heavy lifting equipment. The HPL face sheets provide weather-resistant, UV-stable exterior surfaces available in architectural finishes including anodized metal looks, natural stone patterns, wood grains, and solid colors. Excellent dimensional stability ensures consistent panel-to-panel alignment and minimal thermal expansion/contraction. The honeycomb structure provides inherent ventilation channels when designed with perforated face sheets, supporting rainscreen facade systems. Used extensively in commercial office towers, hotels, airports, convention centers, and institutional buildings seeking contemporary aesthetics with engineering efficiency.
Interior Partition Walls and Movable Wall Systems
Interior UseIdeal for interior partition walls in commercial buildings where lightweight construction, sound insulation, and rapid installation are priorities. The honeycomb structure provides 25-35 dB sound reduction, making it effective for creating private offices, conference rooms, and acoustic separation in open-plan environments. Unlike traditional gypsum board partitions that require metal stud framing, honeycomb panels are self-supporting and can be installed with minimal framing, reducing construction time and labor costs. The exceptional flatness of honeycomb panels creates smooth, seamless wall surfaces ideal for modern minimalist interiors. Movable partition systems benefit from the lightweight rigidity, allowing large panels to be easily repositioned for flexible space planning. The material is particularly valuable in tenant improvement projects where speed of construction and minimal disruption are essential. Hotels use honeycomb partitions between guest rooms for sound isolation while maintaining thin wall profiles that maximize usable floor area. Office buildings specify honeycomb panels for demountable partition systems that can be reconfigured as tenant needs change. The HPL face sheets provide durable, easy-to-clean surfaces resistant to impacts and scuffs in high-traffic commercial environments. Available in professional finishes coordinating with corporate interior design schemes.
