Do it faster with sandwich panels
We live in an instant world where everything needs to happen fast. Fast food, fast checkouts at supermarkets and fast manufacturing. We are constantly searching for ways to build and create something as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Sandwich panels make production so much easier in various industries.
Sandwich panels are widely used due to several benefits.
Why use sandwich panels?
Sandwich panels are very popular in the construction industry as well as for producing recreation vehicles and mobile homes, to name just a few areas. It looks like they bring so many benefits that their impact on the industry cannot be overlooked. Here are their main advantages.
- Price
With the rising costs of all materials, finding a way to keep a business lucrative is vital. Compared to using other materials, working with sandwich panels keeps the costs of materials, labour, and shipping low.
- Construction time
The traditional masonry process may take six months to complete. However, a building of the same volume can be constructed with sandwich panels in just a month. The sooner a building or some other product is finished, the sooner we can expect a return on investment.
- Construction process
Instead of building, we are now assembling structures and other products. It is like playing with toy bricks. This changes the whole construction process. It suddenly becomes not only faster and cheaper, but it also saves on manual labour, water and electricity.
It’s all about adhesives
Sandwich panels are construction elements made of 3 layers: a core and two skins. The core is some sort of insulating material, while the skin is usually a thin layer of metal, gypsum or wooden board. This structure makes the panels robust, lightweight and highly versatile.
We rely on sandwich panel adhesives to create a permanent bond between the three layers. Usually, one or two-component polyurethane adhesives are used to glue all plates on various isolating materials.
MITOPUR adhesives were developed together with customers’ technology requirements.
MITOL has you covered
MITOL has developed several sandwich panel adhesives. They provide reliable adhesion for various types of materials and accommodate different types of manufacturing processes.
- One-component polyurethane adhesives
MITOPUR adhesives in this scope have a viscosity from 2000 to 15000 mPas, a wide range of open assembly time and can be cured in a very short or longer time.
- Two-component polyurethane adhesives
MITOPUR line of two-component adhesives offers viscosity from 5000 to 28000 mPas. In addition, these products give you a wide array of options regarding curing time, open assembly time and pot life.
- Assembling adhesives
MITOMONT is a hybrid polymer that helps assemble elements with fast bonding and sealing for almost all materials, giving you a highly resistant joint.
To wrap up
Making production as fast, cost-effective, and simplified is now easier than ever. Sandwich panels save the day in various industries because of their unique features. But, of course, every good sandwich panel relies on quality materials and appropriate sandwich panel adhesive. MITOL steps us with adhesives designed according to their customers’ needs, giving the company a unique value proposition.
