By orienting the grain of the balsa vertically through the sheet, this core achieves optimal compressive performance, leveraging the strength of wood along the grain. With a compressive strength of 12.8MPa, it ranks among the highest in strength-to-weight ratio composite core materials available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach core sheet is composed of individual 50x50mm blocks with a scrim backing, making them easy to form around single curvatures and ensuring excellent resin transmission during infusion and resin transfer molding processes. This product is compatible with all common resin systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from sustainable sources, this end grain balsa core is produced with a focus on reducing environmental impact while supporting biodiversity. Typical applications include recreational equipment such as snowboards, marine hulls, decks, motorsport body panels, and architectural panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f8f9fa; border-bottom:2px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"padding:12px; text-align:left; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"padding:12px; text-align:left; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eMeasurement\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eBalsa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eShape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eSheet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eDensity (g\/cm³)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e0.15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eTensile strength (MPa)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e13.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eIn Plane sheer strength (MPa)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e2.98\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eCompressive strength (MPa)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e12.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eIn Plane sheer modulus (MPa)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e159\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eCompressive modulus (MPa)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e4.07 x 10\u003csup\u003e6\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eService temp long term max (°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e160\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003eThermal conductivity (W\/(m*K))\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid #dee2e6;\"\u003e0.0649\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecreational equipment (e.g., snowboards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine hulls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDecks and floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorsport body panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eArchitectural panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat types of resin systems are compatible with this core?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis core is compatible with all common resin systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the compressive strength of the balsa core?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe compressive strength is 12.8MPa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan this material be used for curved applications?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the scrim backing allows easy forming around single curvatures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Plastock","offers":[{"title":"6.4 \/ 1220 \/ 610","offer_id":56199521337724,"sku":"PLT_PLC6704","price":77.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ 1220 \/ 610","offer_id":56199521370492,"sku":"PLT_PLC6705","price":86.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/9262\/2987\/files\/8f7716fa33ae4b32f1134dedf58b43c5.png?v=1767776864","url":"https:\/\/plasticsco.co.uk\/products\/premium-end-grain-balsa-core-sheet","provider":"Plastics Co Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
