ZONLE Solid Core Panel is a new type of composite door core filling material under the ZONLE
wooden door brand, featuring outstanding properties such as sound insulation and noise reduction, stability and moisture resistance, flame retardancy and heat insulation, as well as safety and environmental protection. On December 22, 2024, ZONLE Wooden Door launched the new "Ultimate Skin Paint Series", which uses this panel as internal filling. It also decided that in 2025, the internal filling of all core products of ZONLE Wooden Door would be upgraded to ZONLE Solid Core Panel.
Core Design: Honeycomb Compartment Structure
The honeycomb compartment structure is the key to ZONLE Solid Core Panel’s multiple functional advantages, integrating four core strengths with clear performance support:
- Enhanced Sound Insulation & Noise Reduction: The independent honeycomb units split environmental noise into separate compartments to prevent large-area penetration; meanwhile, the hollow cavities reflect and absorb sound waves, reducing sound energy. According to data from Beijing Building Materials Inspection and Research Institute (a national testing institution), 45mm-thick door leaves filled with this panel achieve a 2-decibel higher noise reduction effect compared to those with traditional bridge-hole mechanical panels, effectively blocking noise between indoor and outdoor spaces to create a quieter home environment.
- Optimized Thermal Insulation: The hollow structure of the honeycomb reduces the panel’s overall density, forming a natural "air insulation layer". With poor air flow in closed honeycomb compartments, heat transfer efficiency is significantly lowered. Test data shows the panel has a thermal conductivity of only 1.5W/(㎡·K) and reaches Grade 8 thermal insulation performance, reducing indoor-outdoor temperature exchange—minimizing heat loss in winter and external heat entry in summer, indirectly improving energy efficiency of the home environment.

- Balanced Structural Stability & Lightweight: The hexagonal three-dimensional support of honeycomb units evenly distributes external forces (e.g., extrusion, impact) across the entire panel to avoid local deformation. At the same time, the hollow structure reduces material usage: while ensuring a compressive strength of 0.48MPa (higher than national standards), it lowers the overall weight of the door leaf. This not only facilitates installation and daily use but also reduces the load on door frames, extending the overall service life of wooden doors.
- Auxiliary Moisture & Environmental Protection: Although the panel’s moisture resistance mainly relies on its inorganic materials, the closed honeycomb compartments further reduce moisture penetration paths—independent chambers prevent moisture diffusion inside the panel, which, combined with the material’s low water absorption (no expansion or shrinkage), enhances moisture resistance. Additionally, the structure requires little adhesive filling, working in synergy with the panel’s inorganic materials (with ultra-low formaldehyde emission) to further ensure environmental safety and reduce the risk of harmful substance release.

Functional Features
1. Stability & Moisture Resistance
Composed mainly of inorganic materials bonded with inorganic mineral adhesives (e.g., silicon, calcium), the panel boasts a compressive strength of 0.48MPa (exceeding national standards) for stronger stability. Its low water absorption prevents expansion or shrinkage, enabling it to adapt to living environments in different regions without damage from environmental factors, and delivering superior moisture resistance.
2. Flame Retardancy & Heat Insulation
- Fire Resistance Performance: Primarily made of non-combustible inorganic mineral materials, the panel has a total heat value of only 2.7MJ/kg. Its fire growth rate index is 84W/S, and total heat release within 600 seconds is 1.6MJ—both far below national standards—achieving Grade A2 combustion performance (a high national fire safety rating).
- Heat Insulation Performance: As mentioned earlier, its honeycomb compartment structure ensures low density and a thermal conductivity of 1.5W/(㎡·K), reaching Grade 8 thermal insulation. This not only reduces heat transfer but also helps improve fire insulation effects, minimizing damage from accidental fires to extend the panel’s service life.
3. Safety & Environmental Protection
- Formaldehyde Emission: Tested by national institutions, the panel’s formaldehyde emission is 0.012mg/m³, which is far lower than the new national ENF level standard (0.025mg/m³), fully meeting high environmental protection requirements.
- Smoke Toxicity: Its smoke toxicity meets the national Standard Safety Level 2 (ZA2), ensuring minimal harmful smoke release in case of fire, further enhancing safety.
4. UV Resistance & Service Life
- UV Resistance: The panel’s inorganic material composition (with high chemical bond energy in molecular structures) makes it resistant to UV radiation—UV energy cannot easily break its molecular chains, preventing problems like fading, chalking, or reduced strength under UV exposure. The honeycomb structure also provides partial UV blocking and reflection, further reducing UV impact on internal materials, so UV irradiation has little effect on its service life.
- Service Life: Currently, there is no official data on the panel’s exact service life. However, its excellent stability (no expansion/shrinkage), high compressive strength, moisture resistance, UV resistance, and flame retardancy ensure slow performance degradation under normal use. With proper use and maintenance, its service life is expected to reach 10 years or more, though it may be affected by factors like usage frequency and environment.
