Sandwich Panels
5M - Aluminium Sandwich Panels with Honeycomb Core
5M specializes in the development and manufacture of aluminium sandwich panels featuring a honeycomb core. These panels are available in both flat and custom 2D shapes as per client specifications, including diverse shapes, dimensions, and honeycomb cell sizes as well as surface coating quality. Although primarily composed of an aluminium honeycomb structure, the panels can also be produced with alternative foam or plastic cores. These panels are characterized by their high mechanical resistance and exceptionally low weight. The production process is versatile, allowing for integration of different edges, internal reinforcements, or more complex customer-specific structures. There is also provision for perforated honeycombs to aid air evacuation, and metallic or other inserts for specific requirements like holes or threads, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.Epoxy Resins
5M LETOXIT - Model LFX - Epoxy Foil Resins
LETOXIT LFX epoxy foil resins provide an efficient and safer approach to manufacturing fibreglass components with minimal environmental hazards and straightforward application. This technology hinges on the layering of dry fabric with epoxy resin and hardener, offered in a foil of defined thickness. By using this foil, which can be perforated for enhanced results, lamination is straightforward, allowing for the precise assembly of reinforced layers. After constructing the layers, air is evacuated, and the assembly undergoes curing in an oven. The process requires elevated temperatures initially to liquefy and impregnate the resin into the fabric, followed by standard curing at 120°C, though variants exist for curing at 80°C. This method supports applications needing a precise resin-to-fabric ratio, a glossy finish, and is three times faster than traditional methods. It suits various sectors, including aviation, automotive, healthcare, and sports equipment, offering notable benefits in production efficiency and cost savings.
Other Products
5M - Composite Pultruded Profiles for Industrial Applications
Composite pultruded profiles are manufactured by 5M s.r.o. using the pultrusion method, employing a matrix typically composed of polyester resin with optional use of other resins like epoxide, vinylester, phenolic-acrylate, or polyurethane depending on the specific application requirements. The profiles are reinforced primarily with glass fiber or carbon fiber, which provides enhanced mechanical properties. For certain specifications, direct fibers, mats, or fabrics may also be utilized. These profiles are characterized by their low weight and superior resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure, making them suitable for diverse industrial uses. The major sectors leveraging these composite profiles include public transportation, sports equipment, electrical engineering, aerospace, and construction. The versatility and durable nature of these materials contribute significantly to performance and longevity in demanding environments.
5M PUROXIT - Composite Panels for Public Transport
PUROXIT is a composite material that offers a lightweight yet robust alternative to plywood, achieving a 35% weight reduction without compromising mechanical strength. Engineered for high performance, it exhibits complete resistance to fire and saltwater, making it particularly suited for demanding environments. Additionally, PUROXIT has beneficial thermal insulation properties and noise-dampening capabilities. It complies with stringent fire-resistance norms, including the German DIN 5510-2 and the EN 45 545 European standards, making it an ideal choice for public transport floor structures in trains, trams, and buses. These panels not only contribute to weight efficiency but also enhance the safety and comfort of transport vehicles through their superior fire-resistant and acoustic properties.
