ACP Composites Aramid Honeycomb Core -Over-Expanded Cell

ACP Composites Aramid Honeycomb Core -Over-Expanded Cell is a lightweight, high strength, nonmetallic honeycomb core material manufactured from aramid fiber paper with a 3/16" rectangular cell and a density of 3 pounds per cubic foot (PCF). The overexpanded cell shape allows the core to flex in one direction easily, making it suitable for forming simple curves. After the honeycomb is formed, it is coated with a heat resistant phenolic resin to increase its strength and thermal properties. Aramid Honeycomb exhibits high strength-to-weight ratio, exceptional stiffness and is very bondable.
