The rise of new energy yachts is inseparable from the support of core materials. With the core advantages of light weight, high strength, weather resistance, durability, environmental protection, energy saving, easy processing and mass production, plastic honeycomb panels stand out from many materials and become the optimal matching panels for new energy yachts, perfectly adapting to their design, use and industrial development needs.
First, extreme light weight solves the cruising range anxiety. Power batteries have their own weight, and the hull weight directly affects the cruising range. The density of plastic honeycomb panels is only 1/3 of that of wood and 1/10 of that of steel, which can reduce the hull weight by 30%-50% and increase the cruising range by 20%-30% under the same power configuration. It can perfectly meet the lightweight needs of both popular and high-end yachts.
Second, high strength and durability ensure navigation safety. The marine environment is complex. After modification, plastic honeycomb panels have excellent compression and impact resistance, which can evenly disperse external forces; at the same time, they are waterproof, moisture-proof, salt-alkali resistant and corrosion resistant. The strength retention rate is more than 90% after 1000 hours of immersion in seawater, and the service life is more than 20 years, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost.
Third, environmental protection and energy saving are in line with the green positioning. The production of plastic honeycomb panels has no waste gas, waste water and waste residue emissions and is recyclable, which is in line with the zero-emission concept of new energy yachts; its sound insulation and heat insulation characteristics can control the noise in the cabin below 40 decibels, and reduce the use of air conditioning, further improving the cruising range and riding experience.
Fourth, easy processing and mass production reduce manufacturing costs. Plastic honeycomb panels are easy to cut, can be compounded with a variety of surface materials, support automated production, can improve efficiency and shorten the delivery cycle, provide cost support for 100,000-yuan-class inclusive yachts, and can meet the personalised design needs of high-end yachts.
In addition, the comprehensive cost of plastic honeycomb panels is much lower than that of high-end materials such as carbon fibre, and they are easy to maintain, suitable for various new energy yachts. With the explosion of the new energy yacht industry, plastic honeycomb panels have become the industry-recognised ideal material, which will usher in a broader application space with the industrial development and promote the green transformation of the marine leisure industry.
