A PET foam sandwich panel is a composite structural material consisting of a lightweight, closed-cell polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foam core thermally bonded between two rigid face sheets, typically aluminum, steel, or fiberglass-reinforced plastic. In the building sector, it is rapidly replacing traditional core materials like polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam panels, as well as heavier materials like plywood and solid metal sheets. Its primary advantage lies in delivering an unmatched combination of extremely low weight and high mechanical rigidity, while simultaneously overcoming the critical drawbacks of legacy foams, namely flammability, toxic smoke emission, and hydrolytic degradation.
