Abstract
The present invention relates to a honeycomb sandwich sheet or panel, based on thermoplastic polypropylene, comprising a structure consisting of two flat outer films, at the top and bottom (10, 12), welded to an inner or central film (11) blister thermoformed (13), with blisters repeated in a regular and continuous pattern, wherein said inner or central film (11) is thermoformed on both sides or faces.
Claims5
A process for preparing a honeycomb sandwich sheet or panel comprising the following steps:
- a) contemporaneously extruding at least three multilayer films (10,11,12) starting from a polymer or from a polymer compound containing a mineral filler, said three multilayer films comprising a bottom outer film (10), an inner or central film (11), and a top outer film (12);
- b) thermoforming said inner or central film (11);
- and
- c) coupling said bottom and top outer films (10,12) to said inner or central thermoformed film (11) by thermowelding,
- wherein said thermoforming of the inner or central film (11) is performed contemporaneously and at a same location by applying a positive or a negative pressure both on an upper outer side and on a lower outer side of the inner or central film (11) to produce the inner or central film with a constant thickness, and
- wherein the coupling step begins contemporaneously for the bottom and top outer films and the inner or central film (10,11,12).
