Hey there! I'm a supplier of co - extrusion wall panels, and I often get asked if our co - extrusion wall panels can be used in cold storage facilities. So, I thought I'd sit down and write this blog to share my thoughts and knowledge on the matter.
First off, let's talk a bit about what co - extrusion wall panels are. Co - extrusion is a process where multiple layers of different materials are extruded together to form a single panel. This allows us to combine the best properties of each material. For example, we can have a core material that provides strength and stability, and an outer layer that offers protection against things like UV rays, moisture, and scratches.
Now, when it comes to cold storage facilities, there are several key factors we need to consider: temperature resistance, insulation, moisture resistance, and durability.
Temperature Resistance
Cold storage facilities can have extremely low temperatures, sometimes dropping well below freezing. Our co - extrusion wall panels are designed to handle a wide range of temperatures. The materials we use in the co - extrusion process have been carefully selected to maintain their structural integrity even in cold conditions. For instance, the core material has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, which means it won't expand or contract significantly as the temperature changes. This is crucial because if a panel expands or contracts too much, it can lead to cracks, warping, or other structural issues.
Insulation
Good insulation is a must for cold storage facilities. Our co - extrusion wall panels can provide excellent insulation. The multiple layers in the panel act as a barrier to heat transfer. The outer layer helps to reflect external heat, while the core layer traps air, which is a natural insulator. This helps to keep the cold air inside the storage facility and reduces the amount of energy needed to maintain the low temperature.
Moisture Resistance
Moisture can be a big problem in cold storage facilities. When warm air meets the cold surfaces inside the facility, condensation can form. Our co - extrusion wall panels have a moisture - resistant outer layer. This layer prevents water from seeping into the panel, which could otherwise cause mold, mildew, or rot. It also helps to protect the insulation properties of the panel. After all, if water gets into the insulation layer, it can reduce its effectiveness.
Durability
Cold storage facilities are often busy places with a lot of activity. There may be forklifts moving around, people opening and closing doors, and goods being loaded and unloaded. Our co - extrusion wall panels are highly durable. They can withstand impacts and abrasions without getting damaged easily. The outer layer is tough and scratch - resistant, which means it will look good and perform well for a long time.
Our Product Range
We have a variety of co - extrusion wall panels that could be suitable for cold storage facilities. For example, the 120*12 ASA Co - extrusion Wall Panel is a great option. It's a relatively thin panel but still offers good strength and insulation. The ASA outer layer provides excellent UV and weather resistance, which is important if the cold storage facility is located in an area with a lot of sunlight or harsh weather conditions.
If you need a more heavy - duty panel, the 220*26 Co - extrusion Wall Cladding For Outdoor might be the right choice. It's thicker and offers even better insulation and durability. This panel can handle more wear and tear, making it ideal for large - scale cold storage facilities with high - traffic areas.
On the other hand, if you're on a budget or have less demanding requirements, the 177*13 Outdoor Non Co - extrusion WPC Panel could be considered. While it's a non - co - extrusion panel, it still has many of the features needed for cold storage, such as decent insulation and moisture resistance.
Installation
Installing our co - extrusion wall panels in cold storage facilities is relatively straightforward. They come in standard sizes and can be easily cut to fit the specific dimensions of your facility. We also provide detailed installation guides, and our technical support team is always available to answer any questions you might have during the installation process.
Cost - effectiveness
Using our co - extrusion wall panels in cold storage facilities can be very cost - effective in the long run. The initial cost of the panels is reasonable, and their energy - saving properties can lead to significant savings on your energy bills over time. Also, because they are durable and require little maintenance, you won't have to spend a lot of money on repairs or replacements.
