Potmacore
honeycomb panels

Potmacore is an environmentally friendly and fully recyclable aluminium honeycomb panel with a honeycomb core.

The brilliant honeycomb structure is naturally lightweight and durable

The lightweight, self-supporting, corrosion resistant and fire safe honeycomb panel is ideal for the supporting structures of weight-restricted applications and for module structures.

We constantly develop our products in cooperation with our customers. We can supply thicknesses (h) between 6 and 100 mm at 0.1 mm intervals to meet the specifications of each individual customer.

Deliveries with different dimensions can vary from one panel up to a delivery gross of thousands of panels with no minimum delivery requirement.

Features of Potmacore

Lightweight

Superlight compared to traditional materials, such as wood, gypsum board, etc.

• In thickness of 10 mm ~ 50% lighter
• In thickness of 24 mm ~ 70% lighter

High strength

10 mm-thick panel ~ carries over 2,000 kg/m² equal load

14 mm-thick panel ~ carries over 3,000 kg/m² equal load

Easy to shape

Further processing is easy and convenient using standard woodworking machines and tools.

Precise

Accurate tolerances, optimal flatness and stability with minimal thickness and big dimensions.

Decorative

In addition to basic primer surfaces, also individual surface design through digital printing, laminating, painting, wallpapering, etc.

Technical performance and decorative finishing of the same product.

Tailor-made

Edge trimmings, thicknesses, curve shapes and much more without any minimum order quantities – tailored for the needs of the customer.

Environmentally friendly

Potmacore panels are 100% recyclable without separating the structure layers.

Pre-treated aluminium through the structure gives excellent corrosion and moisture resistance.

Also available as low carbon aluminium: ask us for more details!!

Quality

Our products and production process are certified. Regular third-party audits are an integral part of our business culture and quality management process.

Products are tested and certified on several different structure combinations to cover the needs of different customers in different market areas.

Potmacore honeycomb panels

Potmacore

Both surfaces are coated with epoxy primer, which creates an excellent adhesion for gluing, painting etc.

Epoxy-primer coating is always provided as standard, unless another surface treatment is required.

Potmacore C and C/1

A honeycomb panel with pre-painted surfaces with a temporary protection films. C means that both surfaces of the panel are paint coated. C/1  refers to a panel with one paint-coated and one epoxy-primed surface.

Our stock colour is RAL9010 (gloss level 30–35), whilst other colours are available upon request.

Potmacore Lhl and Lhl/1

A honeycomb panel with  laminated surfaces. Lhl means that both surfaces of the panel are laminated. Lhl/1 refers to a panel with one laminated and one epoxy-primed surface.

Digitally printed laminates are also available.

Potmacore V and V/1

A honeycomb panel with  PVC glued on surfaces. V means that both surfaces are coated with vinyl. V/1  refers to a panel with one PVC coated surface and one epoxy-primed surface.

Digitally printed vinyl surfaces are also available.

Potmacore C-PU / 1

Honeycomb panel with an image specified by the customer printed on one aluminium surface.

The other surface of the panel is epoxy-primed.

Potmacore PV

All panel alternatives are also available as semi-finished. In this case, one surface board is attached to the honeycomb core and the other is also delivered but loose.

This enables the making of curved surfaces. The semi-finished board can be bent to the required curve, after which the other surface panel will be glued in its position to create a rigid, light-weight and curved structure.

Potmacore B

The following panel profiles are available:

Bend edge (pos. 1 in picture)

  • This makes it possible to cover the core from the sides with the same surface decor as the rest of the panel. In addition, bending reinforces the edges of the panel and also allows for fixings to the edges. For panels in thicknesses 6–20(25) mm.

Edge thinned panel (pos. 2 in picture)

  • Panel edges are pressed thinner (similar to a plasterboard, Gyproc etc.), when more space is needed for a filler or joint tape at the junction of panels.

Grooved edge (pos. 3 in picture)

  • Grooving of the edge of the panel makes it possible to use a hidden H-profile in the joint of the panels. The H-profile is also available from Potma.

Edge trimming can be chosen for from one to all four edges, depending on the customer’s needs.
