Sandwich panels that can be used as protection for civil and military targets.
These panels can be used to protect buildings and critical facilities from possible explosive attacks. They are also used to protect ships from mines or to reduce the effects of shock waves generated by underwater explosions.
A composite is created by mixing materials with different properties. This combination gives the composite material superior mechanical characteristics of lightness and strength compared to individual materials.
Honeycomb panels have extraordinary potential when applied in ballistics. They can absorb strong shock waves, absorb shrapnel and retain fragments. They are also very light and therefore easy to transport.
Compared to normal kinetic absorption strategies, composite materials offer modular solutions with low space consumption. They can also be easily assembled and replaced.
An application for every material
The options available depend on requirements:
- polypropylene is a rigid material with good thermal insulation and resistance to water and moisture.
- Technical fabrics can increase the panel's properties. For example, the use of a para-aramid fabric prevents perforations.
- The thick aluminium structure absorbs impacts due to its ability to deform.
Progetti
Roma Termini floating parking lot - 14000 sqm
The system has been studied to be used only in the lowest floor of the parking lot and, coupled with the bearing structure, should withstand the weight of the collapsed upper levels in case of explosion.
Layers:
- Para-Aramid textile
- Compocel AL panel
Shelter for electronic equipment
It’s part of a system to be used in Israel as a military mobile shelter for electronic equipment. Polypropylene was chosen for its lightness and its characteristic as thermal insulator.
Layers:
- Aluminium skin
- Polypropylene honeycomb
- Aluminium skin
Armoured car underside
High density aluminium panels used as car floor I.E.D. shield (improvised explosive devices). Special alloys and densities, pared with the right dimensioning, are able to absorb the power of a close-up detonation.
Layers:
- Aluminium skin
- Aluminium honeycomb
- Aluminium skin
Heat deflector for multiple rocket launcher
A combination of carbon and Aramid fibres, together with the use of particular resins, help protecting the vehicle from the heat of missiles shot from the back. The propulsion is absorbed by a medium density honeycomb placed underneath the fabric.
Layers:
- Para Aramid & Carbon textile
- Aluminium skin
- Aluminium honeycomb
