  • PU vs PIR vs EPS vs Rock Wool Sandwich Panels: Complete Comparison Guide Jul 24, 2026
    Sandwich panels are typically constructed by bonding two layers of facing material—such as color-coated galvanized steel sheets, aluminum sheets, or fiberglass cloth—with an insulating core. Depending on the core material, they are classified into PU, PIR, EPS, and rock wool sandwich panels. A comparative analysis of these types follows. Performance iIndex PU Sandwich Panel PIR Sandwich Panel EPS sandwich panel Rock wool Sandwich panel Thermal Conductivity(W/(m・K)) 0.022-0.028 0.018~0.023 0.038-0.042 0.040-0.048 Density(kg/m³) 36~45 kg/m³ 40~50 kg/m³ 10~18 kg/m³ 90~150 kg/m³ Hygroscopicity ≤ 3% ≤ 2% Low (closed-cell structure, water absorption rate ≤ 4%) High (porous structure, water absorption rate can reach 5%-10%) Fire Rating B2 B1 B2 Non-flammable (Class A), does not release toxic gases at high temperatures Sound insulation performance Moderate Moderate Lower High Weather Resistance Better (its UV resistance is superior to EPS, but still requires protection) Better than PU Poor (Subject to aging and deformation due to long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays) Excellent (resistant to high and low temperatures, anti-aging, unaffected by ultraviolet rays) Compressive / Flexural Strength Higher (with good toughness and strong impact resistance) Better than PU, more stable Medium (Susceptible to Impact Damage) High (strong in rigidity, but with high brittleness, prone to cracking) Cost Higher Highest Lowest Moderate   Based on the comparative analysis of the four types of core-material sandwich panels across various aspects: PIR sandwich panels offer the best thermal insulation and better fire resistance, delivering high overall cost-effectiveness, they are suitable for high- and low-temperature cold storage, blast-freezing facilities, cold-chain logistics warehouses, and EU-standard industrial plants. PU sandwich panels rank second in thermal insulation performance and are suitable for standard constant-temperature facilities, steel structure enclosures, temporary structures, and roofing or wall panels. EPS sandwich panels provide good thermal insulation at a low cost; being lightweight and easy to install, they are ideal for simple industrial buildings, temporary modular structures, construction site hoarding, and warehouses with lower specifications. Rock wool sandwich panels, distinguished by their superior fire resistance, are suitable for large shopping malls, office buildings, high-rise structures, hazardous chemical warehouses, explosion-proof workshops, and projects requiring Class A fire safety ratings.
  • How Sandwich Panels Help Maintain Stable Temperatures in Poultry Farms May 30, 2026
    Poultry are highly sensitive to temperature; large temperature differences can easily lead to illness and loss of appetite, directly impacting farming profits. Therefore, maintaining a stable temperature in poultry houses is crucial for successful poultry farming. Many farms now use sandwich panels to construct walls and roofs, easily achieving a constant temperature inside the house.   Sandwich panels have a three-layer composite structure: two metal protective panels on each side, and an insulating core in the middle. The middle zinc insulating layer has a very low thermal conductivity, providing excellent insulation. In summer, it blocks outside heat from entering the house, slowing down rapid temperature increases; in winter, it locks in the heat from the house's heating system and the poultry's own heat, preventing cold air from entering and significantly reducing the temperature difference between day and night. Compared to corrugated iron sheds and ordinary brick walls, sandwich panels offer better insulation, preventing stuffy days and cold nights.   The inner lining of the sandwich panels can be changed to suit different farming environments. For example, aluminum foil lining can be used for the roof of higher areas of the poultry house to prevent moisture and reduce condensation. For walls near the ground that are easily splashed with manure and wastewater, cement mortar cloth lining can be used, which is resistant to ammonia and manure corrosion and is not easily damaged by long-term washing. The thickness of the sandwich panels can be selected from 30mm to 50mm; the thicker the panel, the better the insulation effect. Farmers can choose the appropriate thickness based on the local climate and the required insulation level.   During installation, the sandwich panels are tightly joined, and the seams are sealed with sealant to prevent cold air from entering the poultry house and to prevent heat loss. Once the temperature stabilizes, frequent turning of heating or cooling equipment is unnecessary, saving considerable electricity costs. Poultry in a comfortable, constant-temperature environment are less likely to experience stress due to temperature fluctuations, resulting in more regular eating habits, faster growth, and a significantly lower probability of disease.   In summary, sandwich panels are easy to assemble, heat-insulating, durable, and cost-effective. Different thicknesses of sandwich panels can be selected according to different temperature requirements. They can maintain a stable temperature in poultry houses for a long time and improve the growth environment of poultry. They are a practical and cost-effective building material for modern poultry farms.  
  • Why Sandwich Panels Are Ideal for Food Processing Factories Feb 27, 2026
    The Sandwich panels are widely used in food processing factories due to their excellent thermal insulation, good moisture and water resistance, corrosion resistance, and excellent fire resistance.     1. Excellent thermal insulation performance. Generally, the thermal conductivity of PU/PIR sandwich panels is between 0.020 and 0.024 [W/(m·K)], providing good thermal insulation and effectively controlling indoor and outdoor temperatures to ensure food freshness.   2. Seamless splicing during assembly ensures good sealing, reducing the risk of bacteria and mold growth and enabling dust-free workshops.   3. The core material used in sandwich panels has a high closed-cell rate, is non-absorbent, and offers excellent waterproof and moisture-proof performance, ensuring food freshness.   4. The color-coated steel plates used in sandwich panels have high structural strength, strong load-bearing capacity, and good corrosion resistance.   5. Sandwich panels generally have a fire rating of B1 (PIR sandwich panels) or A (rock wool sandwich panels), offering excellent fire resistance and making them more suitable for high-temperature food processing workshops;   6. Sandwich panels are produced in modular form, requiring only on-site installation and splicing, resulting in simple construction, short construction period, less dust, and high cost-effectiveness.
  • Common Mistakes When Purchasing Sandwich Panels for Industrial Use Feb 16, 2026
    There are many types of sandwich panels, and common mistakes when choosing industrial sandwich panels include:   1. Focusing solely on price and selecting panels incompatible with the core material. EPS sandwich panels are the cheapest and generally only used in ordinary factories. PU/PIR sandwich panels are chosen for cold storage, while rock wool sandwich panels are chosen for large logistics warehouses.   2.Confusing roofing and wall panels. Wall panels cannot be used directly for roofing. Roofing requires high-strength roofing panels with corrugated peaks to withstand strong winds and rain/snow.   3.Ignoring the density of the core material. Generally, EPS density ranges from 10kg/m³ to 20kg/m³, which can be selected based on different insulation requirements; Rock wool density ranges from 80kg/m³ to 140kg/m³. It is generally not recommended to use less than 90kg/m³ for walls and less than 100kg/m³ for roofs.   4.     Ignoring the thickness requirements of the sandwich panel steel plate The thickness of the top and bottom plates of the sandwich panel can be determined according to the strength requirements of the building. Common thicknesses are 0.4mm to 0.8mm.   5.Ignoring the zinc coating thickness requirements of the sandwich panel Generally, the thicker the zinc coating, the better the corrosion resistance. Industrial buildings typically require AZ100 or AZ150.   6.Ignoring the color coating requirements of the sandwich panel steel plate PE coating can be used in ordinary environments, while PVDF coating can be used in coastal or highly corrosive environments.   7.Incorrect calculation of sandwich panel length, leading to excessive splicing It is recommended to provide CAD drawings. Our technical engineers will calculate the accurate number and length of panels to avoid errors.   8.Ignoring panel load-bearing capacity and span The panel thickness needs to be calculated based on the purlin spacing, load, and wind force of the industrial building to avoid placing orders blindly.
