BALTEK® SBC is a core material produced from controlled kilndried balsa wood in the ‘end-grain’ configuration with physical time to kiln control. 3A Composites Core Materials owns and manages several thousand hectares of FSC®-certified balsa wood plantations. Its cultivation from seedling to the tree ensures sustainable forest management and strict traceability. Documented and controlled time to kiln-drying makes SBC ideal for vacuum infusion. Own plantations enable 3A Composites to provide a continuous supply to industrial customers. BALTEK® SBC has exceptionally high strength and stiffness to weight ratios and achieves an excellent bond with all types of resins. It is an ideal core material for an extensive range of applications. All while being a renewable resource.
