Sandwich panels with a rigid PUR foam core and GRP facing layers are ideally suitable for lightweight construction due to their high stability and low weight. Depending on their respective thickness, they can also have an insulating function. The sandwich elements can be manufactured to serve specific purposes, for example, the facing layers can be made of different thermosetting matrix resins or alternatively of thin metal sheeting.
