Which Panel Type Works Best for Automotive and Electronics Plants?

Automotive and electronics plants need to meet requirements for dust and explosion prevention, static electricity prevention, moisture control, and temperature control.

Different sandwich panels need to be selected according to different production areas within the workshop, as follows:

1. For power battery and electronic assembly workshops, we recommend high-density rock wool handmade panels with magnesium oxide edge sealing: The core material is basalt rock wool with a density ≥120kg/m³, double-sided corrugated steel plate covering + four-sided magnesium oxide sealing, A1 fire rating, fire resistance exceeding 60 minutes, fully meeting the fire protection requirements of new energy battery workshops and electronic workshops. The rock wool handmade panel is covered with a protective film, is dense and does not accumulate dust, is resistant to forklift scratches, and the protective film can be removed after assembly.

2. For temperature-controlled and temperature- and humidity-controlled clean workshops, we recommend PIR polyurethane sandwich panels: PIR sandwich panels have a thermal conductivity of only 0.023W/(m·K), excellent thermal insulation performance, a closed-cell rate higher than 95%, extremely low water absorption, and significantly better temperature control performance than other core material sandwich panels. Fire resistance reaches B1 flame-retardant level, suitable for electronic SMT assembly, automotive chip assembly, and temperature-controlled testing workshops for automotive parts.

3. Ultra-high precision clean rooms utilize silicon rock/aluminum honeycomb clean room panels: Silicon rock panels are Class A non-combustible, moisture-proof, and mildew-proof, with a dense surface that prevents dust shedding. Their cost-effectiveness surpasses that of aluminum honeycomb panels, making them suitable for clean room assembly of electronic and automotive modules. Aluminum honeycomb panels are lightweight, extremely flat, and possess excellent anti-static properties, but are more expensive. They are primarily used for ceilings and partitions in precision workshops for semiconductors and automotive radar, where large-span ceilings do not require dense joists. Both types of panels are easy to clean, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for clean rooms requiring high-frequency water washing, meeting ISO 7-8 clean room standards.

In summary, for high-risk production areas in automotive and electronics plants (batteries, painting, welding), Class A rock wool clean room panels with magnesium oxide edge sealing are preferred; PIR polyurethane sandwich panels are used in temperature-controlled clean rooms; aluminum honeycomb or handmade silica rock clean room panels can be selected for precision clean rooms; and ordinary machine-made rock wool sandwich panels can be used in storage aisles.
