Carbofont Panel

Carbofont Composite Panels

Carbofont panels are manufactured from recyclable composite material designed for commercial vehicle bodywork. They combine low weight, durability and good thermal performance.

Composition

The panel structure, from the outside face inward, consists of:

  • External gelcoat (RAL 9010)
  • Glass-reinforced polyester resin (GRP)
  • Polycarbonate delta-shaped internal structure
  • Glass-reinforced polyester resin
  • Internal white gelcoat

FAQs

Are Carbofont panels fully recyclable?

The composite structure uses recyclable thermoplastic elements. The recycling route depends on local capability; panels are typically shredded and separated for polymer recovery.

What applications are Carbofont panels suitable for?

They are used primarily for commercial vehicle box bodies, shutters and structural cladding where low weight and rigidity are required.

Do the panels offer thermal insulation?

Yes. The polycarbonate core contributes to moderate thermal performance, reflected in the specified K values.

Can panels be supplied pre-machined?

Yes. Cut-outs can be produced to customer drawings to simplify installation.
