SIMONA® Twin-Wall Sheets

Light, Quiet, Strong and Versatile

SIMONA® Twin-Wall Sheets are an innovative, versatile product. Twin-wall sheets are made of PE-HWU-B (PE 80),  PP-DWU AlphaPlus (PP-H), PPs or PP-C-UV sheets with state-of-the-art machine technology and are renowned for their high degree of rigidity, low specific weight, good thermal insulation and user-friendly fabrication and machining.

Twin-wall sheets can be processed by the same methods as those used for solid materials. We can now even offer you an optimised second generation of SIMONA ® Twin-Wall Sheets.

New features of the enhanced SIMONA ® Twin-Wall Sheets:
  • Higher physical strength due to variable web spacing (54 mm, 108 mm and 140 mm)
  • Higher tank volumes (5 m 3 and more) without steel reinforcement
  • Custom specification of sheet thickness (from 5 mm to 10 mm)
  • Variable number of webs depending on requirements (8, 10 or 19)
Design-specific advantages:
  • Rectangular tanks possible without steel reinforcement
  • Lighter weight than solid material due to cavities
  • Excellent sound insulation (DIN ISO 140-3 certificates can be provided on request)
  • High rigidity and strength
  • High break resistance
  • Many different fields of application
  • Support with structural analysis possible
Plastic-specific advantages:
  • High thermal insulation
  • Good electrical insulation
  • Good slip properties
  • High wear resistance
  • High chemical resistance
  • Low water absorption
  • Resistant to microorganisms
  • Excellent processing capability
