2. Five core advantages: why choose PU sandwich insulation board?

2.1. Extreme energy savings: 30%-40% reduction in energy costs

PU core adopts a dense cellular structure with a closure rate of more  than 90%, effectively blocking convection and conductive heat transfer, R value up to 6.3 per inch (about 25.2 per 100mm), which is 3-5 times the traditional brick wall insulation effect.

2.2. Safe and durable: no worries about the whole scene

Fire safety: add halogen-free flame retardant, meet the Euroclass B-s1, d0 standard, do not produce toxic flue gas at high temperatures, meet the stringent fire protection requirements of cold chain warehouses, hospitals, schools, etc.;

Moisture-proof and corrosion-proof: core material water absorption rate <2%, the surface layer adopts anti-corrosion coating, can resist coastal high humidity, acid rain, industrial corrosion and other harsh environments, to avoid plate deformation, mold;

Structural stability: the double-sided metal surface is tightly bonded to the core, with compressive strength up to 250-400 kPa, and the lightweight design (15-22 kg/m²) reduces the building load and reduces the infrastructure costs.

2.3. Efficient construction: 30% shorter construction times

Adopt modular prefabricated design, support any length customization (up to 11.95m), with its own base-type splicing structure, no need for on-site welding, a team of 10 people can install 1000㎡+ per day, 40% faster than traditional masonry construction. At the same time, the plate integrates insulation, decoration, waterproof triple functions, reducing multi-process connections, reducing construction risks and manpower costs.

2.4. Diversity of aesthetics: adapt to diverse design styles

The surface layer supports multi-material, multi-color, multi-texture customization, optional PPGI / PPGL stainless steel plate, aluminum plate, aluminum magnesium manganese plate, etc., color coverage RAL full color system, the surface can be made of flat seams, brick PU Sandwich panel，microwave, embossed patterns and other styling, both can build an industrial wind simple facade, but also can adapt to the aesthetic needs of high-end residential and commercial complexes, to achieve "insulation and color value" double standard.

2.5. Environmentally Sustainable: Meet Global Green Standards

PU core material adopts CFC-free environmental formula, the production process is low VOC emissions, can be recycled, and meets international green building certification such as LEED, BREEAM. At the same time, the ultra-long service life reduces the frequency of building material replacement, reduces the generation of construction waste, helps the project achieve carbon emission reduction goals, and adapts to the European and American market access requirements for environmentally friendly building materials.

3.Four main application scenarios: PU foam sandwich panel can precisely match different building needs

3.1. Industrial Plant and Warehouse Logistics Center

Core requirements: large span space, thermal insulation, wind and earthquake resistance, rapid commissioning;
