Primary Advantages of Bellcomb’s Technology
Bellcomb is the world’s premier manufacturer of lightweight composite structural panels. This “sandwich” is a combination of two outer skins bonded with adhesives to a solid or honeycomb core material. The performance characteristics of composite panels are greatly superior to those made from a single substance.
By first understanding the specific service environment your panel is expected to operate in, we begin a careful selection process of the components to be included in your composite panel: core and skin materials, as well as the adhesive used to bond them together.
The primary advantages of Bellcomb composite panels compared to conventional materials are that they are
- significantly lighter
- vastly stronger
- consistently flatter when manufactured and over time
This unique combination of performance characteristics provides Bellcomb clients with a significant financial benefit and helps them create differential advantages in their markets.
Panel skins are critical in providing greater impact resistance, carrying loads to improve deflection performance, impacting thermal and acoustical properties, and controlling the weight of the panel. They also provide opportunities for aesthetic enhancements to panels that are going to be visible on one or both sides when installed.
Lightweight cores resist shear loads, provide compression strength, appropriately influence thermal and acoustical properties, increase panel thickness without a corresponding increase in weight, and increase the stiffness of the panel.
Bellcomb’s proprietary adhesive technology completes the primary performance characteristics of our panels by providing a structural bond, perfectly suited to the selected core and skin materials, very economically.
Together, this combination of components - core, skin, and adhesive - yields an extremely stiff, strong, lightweight structure, making Bellcomb the preferred panel choice by industry leaders in over 40 markets. Make Bellcomb the right choice for your panel needs.
Our professionals are ready to discreetly work through your specific panel application requirements to develop the best possible composite panel solution for you. Call us at 763-537-0200 or e-mail us at sales@bellcomb.com and see how Bellcomb can help you.
