- Lightweight
- High strength and durability
- Corrosion and moisture-proof
- Thermal insulation
- Flame resistant
The material is a composite of rigid PVC foam and CFRT (continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic). CFRT is used instead of thermosetting FRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) to achieve a more durable and strong sandwich panel structure.

Structural Diagram
Outer Layer – CFRT Sheets
Continuous fibers are combined with thermoplastic resins to create durable, lightweight and durable UD prepreg tapes, which are then thermal laminated together at set angles to form CFRT sheets with improved performance. CFRT laminates are known for their excellent mechanical properties, including high strength-to-weight ratio, good impact resistance, and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and chemicals.
Closed-cell PVC Foam Core
Closed-cell PVC foam is a rigid material with a closed cell structure. Due to its low thermal conductivity and unique honeycomb structure, it performs better than other rigid foams (XPS, PU, PET, EPS) in terms of structural strength, thermal insulation, waterproofing and other properties, and has a balanced overall performance.
