HolyCore Composite Materials Co., Ltd. was established in 2012 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhejiang Wazam New Materials. HolyCore glass fiber reinforced skin polypropylene honeycomb panel (hereinafter referred to as HolyPan) is a lightweight and high-strength composite sandwich panel developed for industrial manufacturing, and it is also the main production material of HolyCore dry freight truck body and refrigerated truck body.

This innovative sandwich panel is made of polypropylene honeycomb core and glass fiber reinforced skin through hot-melt process. The honeycomb core structure makes HolyPan have good stability, and also reduces the weight of the panel, which can increase the payload. Reduce fuel consumption. The glass fiber reinforced surface material provides excellent impact resistance, which can ensure the safety of the truck body during use.

Compared with traditional plywood panels or laminated panels, the skin and core of HolyCore glass fiber reinforced polypropylene honeycomb panels will hardly delaminate; Effectively improves the durability and prolongs the service life. In addition, the hot-melt process used in the panel does not require resin as an adhesive, and the polypropylene raw material can also make the product recyclable, so this is also an environmentally friendly composite material.

As of June 2021, more than 30,000 lightweight truck bodies of various sizes produced by HolyCore have been used in the market. If calculated on the basis of 4.2-meter truck bodies, the use of Hangzhou HolyCore lightweight truck bodies is expected to reduce 94,680 tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year. This figure does not include other lightweight products, which shows the huge advantages of HolyCore lightweight truck bodies in terms of energy saving, emission reduction, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement.
