The Aluminum Corrugated Core Sandwich Panel is a high-performance all-aluminum façade material developed by Chalco, featuring a "surface panel + 3D aluminum core + back panel” integrated metal structure. Compared with traditional honeycomb panels, it offers higher strength, better processing flexibility, and improved fire and weather performance.
Key Features:
- 3D aluminum core structure: enhanced strength and bending stability
- All-aluminum, no plastic core: A2 fire rating, safe and eco-friendly
- Flexible processing: ideal for bending, shaping, and modular systems
- Cost-efficient: higher structural utilization and better system compatibility
- Multiple finishes: anodized, PVDF, polyester, wood grain, stone grain, brushed metal, etc.
Widely used in façade cladding, exterior renovation, medical clean spaces, and modular wall systems, it is a high-strength sandwich wall panel solution for modern architecture.

3D aluminum core sandwich panel vs. aluminum honeycomb panel: Why is it the better choice?
- Structural differences: Three-dimensional aluminum core panels use a three-dimensional aluminum core + adhesive layer composite, while honeycomb panels use a hexagonal honeycomb core + glue hot-pressed structure.
- Cost advantages: Lower aluminum consumption, simpler process, no reliance on honeycomb stretching and large amounts of adhesives, overall cost can be reduced by about 10-30%.
- Fireproof and environmentally friendly: All aluminum core material, no plastic foam, can achieve A2 fire rating and is recyclable;
- Processing advantages: stronger resistance to collapse, can be bent, milled, and made into arcs, suitable for irregular curtain walls and prefabricated wall panels.
| 3D aluminum core sandwich panel | honeycomb aluminum panels |
| 3D aluminum core structure | hexagonal honeycomb core |
| Lower aluminum consumption | High aluminum consumption |
| Costs can be reduced | Fixed costs are relatively high |
| A2 fire resistance rating | A2 fire resistance rating |
| Less adhesive layer | More adhesive layers |
| More impact resistant | The edges are easily crushed. |
| Bending/Arc-shaped | Irregular shape processing is limited |
| Custom sizes are supported. | Standard specifications are the main focus |
