Key Benefits of Steel Composite Panels

Strength and Durability: The galvanized steel skins provide exceptional strength and impact resistance, ensuring longevity in various applications.
Magnetic Receptiveness: One side of the material is optimized for dry-erase use, making it ideal for magnetic boards and other similar applications.
Printable Surface: The opposite side offers a superior print surface, allowing for high-quality graphics and designs.
Flame Retardance: Our Steel Composite Material is designed to be flame retardant, providing an added layer of safety and protection in applications where fire resistance is crucial.
Self-Supporting: The stiffness of the material allows it to maintain its form without additional support, making it ideal for various structural uses.

Steel Composite Construction

Exterior Steel Skins: The outside layers of SCM are made from galvanized steel. This provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, enhances structural integrity, and offers a sleek, professional appearance.

Polyethylene Core: Sandwiched between the steel skins is a core made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE). This material is known for its lightweight properties, excellent impact resistance, and energy absorbency, making it both sturdy and resilient.
