  • Publication number: 20150202844
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sandwich sheet, in particular for the production of construction components or of vehicle body parts, with metallic cover sheets and with, arranged between the cover sheets, at least one core layer made of polymer and is integrally joined to the cover sheets. The core layer of the sandwich sheet comprises according to the invention a fibre-containing carrier, the fibres of the carrier are surrounded by a polyurethane matrix, in which the polyurethane matrix has been formed from an aqueous, solvent-free polyurethane dispersion, in which the fibres have the form of relatively short fibre pieces with a total fibre length of maximum 50 mm in the polyurethane matrix. The fibres of the carrier are preferably composed of mineral fibres, in particular of ceramic fibres. The sandwich sheet of the invention features an inexpensive, lightweight core layer which extends the range of possible uses of the sandwich sheet.
