5052 and 5056 expanded aerospace grade aluminum honeycomb materials are available in a wide selection of cell sizes and foil gages. The HexWeb® CR-PAA coating has been developed to offer superior protection for aluminum honeycomb exposed to corrosive environments. The HexWeb® CR-PAA system offers a clear protective film that interacts with the aluminum surface forming a stable, tightly adherent bond.

Non-metallic honeycombs are manufactured from high temperature resistant aramid paper formed into a honeycomb structure, and coated with a phenolic resin. The combination of aramid paper and phenolic resin gives types A1 and A10 their superior strength, toughness and chemical resistance. The honeycomb cell shape is normally hexagonal for optimum mechanical properties. It can also be overexpanded to produce a rectangular cell shape and provide improved drapeability for the production of curved parts.

HexWeb® HDC is a fabric reinforced honeycomb, made from fiberglass prepreg. A thermosetting node adhesive is used with either a thermoplastic or thermoset resin for the web impregnations. The product was developed for use in temperatures up to 500° F. Depending on the constituent resin system, the product may be suitable for short exposures at higher temperatures.

Corrosion resistant HexWeb® Rigicell™ is manufactured by bonding together corrugated sheets of treated 5052 aluminum. This process allows fabrications of much higher density honeycomb than is possible by the expansion process. The node bond adhesive is a thermosetting type. Slices are cut from the corrugated block to specified thickness, length, and width.

5052 and 5056 expanded aerospace grade aluminum honeycomb materials are available in a wide selection of cell sizes and foil gages. The HexWeb® CR III coating has been developed to offer superior protection for aluminum honeycomb exposed to corrosive environments. The HexWeb® CR III system offers a clear protective film that interacts with the aluminum surface forming a stable, tightly adherent bond. The coating is primarily an organometallic polymer type that differs from the normal conversion-type corrosion protective coatings.
