Description
Standard Cell Aramid Honeycomb is a lightweight, high strength, nonmetallic honeycomb core material manufactured from aramid fiber paper. After the honeycomb is formed, it is coated with a heat resistant phenolic resin to increase its strength and thermal properties. It exhibits high strength-to-weight ratio, exceptional stiffness, and is very bondable.
Aramid Honeycomb is becoming increasingly used in high-performance components due to its high mechanical properties, low density and good long-term stability. It is ideal for any structure which requires corrosion resistance and thermal insulation. Available in Aerospace and Commercial Grade.
Features/Benefits
