The Science Behind Aerolam Bubble Guard Boards: Lightweight Shrinkage With Strength Effectiveness

The Science Behind Aerolam Bubble Guard Boards: Lightweight Shrinkage With Strength Effectiveness

Today’s construction and packaging industry requires materials that are strong, can be molded into different shapes, and are light in weight. The material can be used to make structures that  are meant to last. It can also serve as a packaging material which is efficient but not bulky. There always remains a niche for something new. Because of this Aerolam’s Bubble Guard Boards have changed the scenario of construction and packaging by providing an ideal composition of lightweight and strength with robustness.
This time, we intend to go deeper into the working principles that underlie Aerolam's most advanced Bubble Guard Boards, exploring the technology and remarkable products that have changed the construction materials and packaging industry standards.
 

Aerolam’s Bubble Guard Boards Details

The almost honeycomb type structural shape of the boards allows them a great shock- resisting value and properties of propane and PP expandate, therefore they can find applications in a variety of industries, including construction and packaging. Bubble Guard Boards are manufactured using a combination of expanded polyethylene (EPE) and polypropylene (PP) films and the hive structure of the boards gives them added volume whilst keeping the overall weight very low. These materials have an excellent strength to weight ratio making them perfect for industries that require durable yet light materials.

The boards’ bubble-like structure and the new way of production makes sure that Aerolam’s Bubble Guard Boards are super strong and lightweight. The outstanding construction of each of these boards is the secret to their unique characteristics and comprehensiveness, which provides mastery to several industries.

The Key Technology of Bubble Guard Boards

The innovation of that construction and composed materials is the source of strength of Aerolam’s Bubble Guard Boards. It is essential to address some core technologies and features that make these boards distinctive and different:

  1. Honeycomb Structure:

The most striking aspect of the Bubble Guard Boards is that it has the same shape as a honey-comb. This honey-comb like structure increases their Lightweight strength due to the fact that strains on the material can be uniformed throughout the material. Better load bearing features can therefore be achieved without increasing weight. The bubble cells in the board provide a cushioning effect which protects the contents within the board from shock and vibrations. Not only does the aesthetic element enhance the sheer strength of the boards, but also greatly enhances the insulation properties of the boards.

  1. Expanded Polyethylene (EPE):

EPE refers to a closed-cell foam material that  possesses a significant degree of flexibility as well as impact resistance characteristics. For the case of Bubble Guard Boards, EPE serves as the core material, so it is possible to make it strong and still light. This also implies that the board is quite lightweight facilitating ease of handling, transportation and installation. In addition, EPE is moisture, chemical, and UV radiation resistant, which enhances the  durability and performance of the material.

  1. Polypropylene (PP) Films:

The upper surfaces of Aerolam’s Bubble Guard Boards are thermally laminated with polypropylene (PP) films which are tough, flexible and weather resistant plastic. These films additionally provide structural stability to the boards while enhancing the boards’ lightweight characteristics. The PP films including those used inside the bubble guard board enhance their durability increasing end user satisfaction allowing application even in severe weather conditions.

Key Advantages of Aerolam Bubble Guard Boards

Now that we know what bubble guard boards are, let’s discuss the characteristics that favor their use for construction and packaging purposes: 

  • Thin But Very Tough:

One of the most striking features of bubble guard boards is their unique feature of being both lightweight and heavy duty at the same time. Such strength to weight ratio makes these boards suitable for civil construction works where both weight and strength are required. Bubble guard boards, whether it’s for wall partitions or for ceilings or even flooring, gives strength without increasing the overall weight of the structure. In the same way in packaging, these boards do protect the products while optimizing the shipping cost and the usage of materials.

  • Strength and Maintenance Free:

Maintenance free, yes, Bubble Guard Boards have the outstanding characteristics of strength, and extreme resistance to many environmental aspects including moisture, heat, cold and UV effects. It is because of their exceptional strength properties that they can also be used in the construction sector where they will be subjected to environmental effects in indoor and outdoor applications.In packaging, their durability ensures that products are well-protected during transit and storage, reducing the chances of damage and lowering the risk of returns.

  • Shock Absorption and Impact Resistance:

The boards have a bubble-like structure, which contributes towards amortizing shock when carrying, delivering or relocating delicate items. This ability to absorb shock can be extended beyond packaging into construction as these boards are able to take in impact and vibrations, therefore, shielding the building or the items that are stored or being moved from sustaining damages.

  • Versatility Across Applications:

The interplay between light weight strength and variety makes Bubble Guard Boards highly usable in a number of applications in different industries. For instance, the boards, which combine thermal insulation and sound insulation properties, can find applications in the construction sector in insulating, partitioning, wall sheathing, etc. In packaging these boards can be used as protective materials for delicate and valuable items like electronics, glass, automotive parts, etc. These products also provide protection against shocks, abrasions or exposure to weather factors.

  • Environmental Impact:

Given the current circumstances of increased global temperatures, it is well understood that sustainability is of importance. Bubble Guard Boards manufactured by Aerolam are products made of recyclable materials and promote a reduction in the carbon footprint. These boards require fewer resources to be produced and transported as they are lightweight leading to a lower impact on the environment. These boards can also be recycled after their intended use making them ideal materials in the construction and packaging sectors.

Applications of Aerolam Bubble Guard Boards in Construction and Packaging

Construction:

  • Partition Walls and Undertaking Ceilings: The strength combined with the lightweight nature of Bubble Guard Boards makes them suitable for use as interior partitions and ceilings so as to lessen the load to the building structure and also make it easier to manage the components.

  • Temperature Control: Structures with such boards provide effective thermal and acoustic insulation, ensuring the comfortable environment maintained in the interior rooms despite the presence of people or even sounds from other structures. They also control the transmission of temperatures from inside the walls Cars that were out or inside.

  • Protective Barriers: On the other hand, Bubble Guard Boards used in building projects are installed on the outer walls during building operations to prevent damage and dust from inhaled and other building materials that can be caused by building The cut. The covering is performed on the inner surfaces with the most focus on the function of the cut to maintain its integrity.

Packaging

  • Protection of Sensitive Goods: Since packing requires moving items, the super strength and lightweight composites combined with airlocks act as a natural shock-absorber making it easy to transit sensitive items such as glassware, electronics and delicate machinery. 

  • Transport & Storage: The light and strong packing solutions also provide other key advantages when it comes to transportation materials that are overly sensitive like auto parts, furniture or any other luxury object.
