The sandwich construction of an Aluminum Honeycomb Panel provides better impact resistance than many lightweight sheet materials.
Impact performance depends on:
- Face sheet thickness
- Honeycomb cell size
- Core density
- Adhesive strength
- Total panel thickness
Smaller honeycomb cells generally distribute impact loads more evenly, helping to reduce localized deformation. While no panel is completely immune to severe impacts, selecting an appropriate combination of face sheet thickness and core structure can substantially improve durability in transportation hubs, schools, hospitals, and public buildings where accidental impacts are more likely.
