Description
Description
Premium honeycomb core material is a lightweight, high strength solution manufactured from aramid paper with a 4.8mm hexagonal cell shape. This honeycomb is coated with a heat resistant phenolic resin, enhancing its strength and thermal properties. It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, exceptional stiffness, and is highly bondable.
Known for its excellent mechanical properties, this honeycomb core sets the standard in non-metallic, lightweight materials for sandwich composites. With a density of 0.032 g/cm³, it is significantly lighter than many alternative core materials such as closed cell PVC foam. Its applications extend extensively into aerospace sectors like cabinets, lockers, and bulkheads, as well as in high-performance motorsports including Formula 1 and WRC.
