VENTURELITE® 2050 IS AN ALUMINIUM HONEYCOMB PANEL WITH DECORATIVE LAMINATE FACES REINFORCED WITH ALUMINIUM SHEET
Strain-hardened hexagonal cell aluminium honeycomb has optimum mechanical properties and is able to carry shear loads at much lower weight than foam or other core types.
Minimal content of combustible materials means a low fire load, enabling VENTURELITE® 2050 to achieve flame spread test requirements.
Panels are produced with the same decorative laminate on both faces, or with a backing/lining laminate on the reverse face Decorative faces are reinforced with aluminium sheet. A broad range of aluminium reinforcement sheet thicknesses are available, including 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm and 1.0mm. 0.5mm is the standard aluminium reinforcement thickness. Aluminium reinforcement sheets can be selected with different thicknesses on different faces: for example, 0.8mm for front face, 0.3mm for back face. Aluminium reinforcement sheets are 5000-series alloy for maximum strength and anti-corrosion performance Aluminium honeycomb cell size is 6.35mm.
