CEL Components PET-STEP Fiberglass PET Foam Sandwich Panel

Description

PET-STEP panel is a CEL Components sandwich panel made with a PET foam core and fiberglass skins impregnated with epoxy resin. It is built for lightweight panel construction where shops need stiffness, lower weight, and a workable composite structure.

PET-STEP panel Benefits

• PET foam core helps reduce panel weight compared with solid sheet construction.
• Fiberglass epoxy skins add useful stiffness for sandwich-panel fabrication.
• Composite format supports stone, marine, transport, display, and specialty build work.
• Panel structure can help crews create thicker parts without carrying unnecessary mass.
• Factory-built construction gives buyers a repeatable core and skin package.

This panel fits projects where the finished part needs more body than a thin laminate but cannot carry the weight of a solid slab. The PET core and fiberglass skins give fabricators a practical starting point for lightweight assemblies, backers, and structural panel concepts.

Where It Fits

• Lightweight stone and countertop support panels.
• Marine interiors, panels, and non-primary structural builds.
• Transportation and specialty vehicle assemblies where weight matters.
• Display, fixture, and architectural panels that need a composite core.
• Prototype panels where stiffness-to-weight balance is the buying reason.

PET-STEP panel Fabrication Notes

Confirm thickness, facing, edge finish, adhesive choice, and fastening plan before cutting. Use dust control and blade selection suited to fiberglass-faced composite panels. Test machining and bonding on a sample before committing to visible or load-bearing parts.

Panel data from CEL describes fiberglass skins impregnated with 500 g/m2 epoxy resin over a PET foam core. Service temperature is listed from -40 C to 80 C in available technical literature, but project suitability still depends on loads, exposure, edge sealing, and installation method.
