Ultralight Poplar XPS Sandwich Panel

Ultralight Poplar XPS Sandwich Panel with an insulating XPS (extruded polystyrene) core combined with plywood that is made of 100% European poplar from sustainable plantations.

Its light-coloured poplar faces and premium-quality inner veneers make it ideal for painting, laminating/filming and for digital and screen printing.

The extruded polystyrene (XPS) used for the Ultralight core as insulation is an HBCD-free
flame retardant component and contains none of the foam blowing agents CFC and HCFC.
According to Specification STM-S-001, Index D (2014), Ultralight possesses a very low
smoke gas index and has been classified as F1, a material of low toxicity.

Combining the excellent mechanical properties of Garnica plywood - lightweight, stable and easily machinable - with an insulating and ultralight material such as extruded polystyrene, produces a panel with improved performance.

Also available in a laminated decorative finish in a variety of uniform colours and wood textures – for an attractive appearance and exceptional resistance to impact and scratching.
