? Key Takeaways
? Polyurethane sandwich panel achieves thermal conductivity of 0.022–0.026 W/(m·K) — the best among common sandwich panel cores.
? Thickness selection follows temperature zone logic: 50-75mm for chilled, 100-120mm for frozen, 120-150mm for deep freeze, and 150-200mm for ultra-low temperature applications.
? Fire rating limitation: standard PU achieves Class B1/B2, not Class A — rock wool or magnesium cores are required for Class A fire-rated cold storage.
? Moisture resistance: closed-cell PU structure provides excellent moisture resistance, superior to untreated rock wool.
? Material-to-application mapping shows that chilled storage, frozen storage, deep freeze, and ultra-low temperature applications each require different thickness and core selections.
? SAMZOON operates as a Foshan-based source manufacturer, bridging product supply with technical guidance for cold chain operators and cold storage builders across South China.
