Technical features

HSB’s aluminum honeycomb panel is a high-performance panel with both skins and core made entirely of aluminum. This panel offers outstanding mechanical properties, especially where high tensile strength is required at a cost-effective rate for use in mild environmental conditions. Our panels are available in various finishes, including untreated, primed, painted, or treated with SurTec 650. A wide range of RAL colors can be provided, subject to quantity and lead time requirements.

HSB’s aluminum honeycomb panels can be edged, shaped, or perforated according to the customer’s specifications, ensuring versatility for various applications. As the panel is composed of 95% aluminum, it meets stringent fire resistance standards, making it suitable for many industries. For projects requiring certified fire resistance, we offer our specialized HSB aluminum honeycomb panel FR.

Installation and maintenance

HSB’s Aluminum Honeycomb panels can be machined using a variety of equipment, ranging from standard joinery saws to advanced CNC machines. We offer a range of processing services, including drilling, edge banding, and riveting, to meet specific project requirements.

To maintain the quality and performance of our panels, it is essential to follow proper storage guidelines. Key factors that can affect panel storage include:

  • Storage temperature
  • Handling practices
  • Exposure to light and weather conditions

Special attention should be given to the protective films, as prolonged exposure to environmental elements can make them difficult to remove.

Our panels are easy to clean and degrease, but we advise against using acidic or abrasive cleaning agents, as they may damage the surface and compromise the panel’s aesthetic appearance. Proper care will help maintain the durability and visual appeal of the product.
