Technical Details & Test Data
- Thermhex PP Honeycomb Cores Offer to Producers of Sandwich Elements a New Generation of the Approved Core Material
The innovative ThermHex technology for the continuous production of PP honeycomb cores supports the production of highly cost-efficient sandwich structures. Different from traditional production processes, the patented EconCore process allows for the production of PP honeycomb sheets in theoretically endless lengths. The low consumption of raw materials helps to save on resources and to reduce the carbon footprint.
ThermHex honeycomb cores are first finished with a polypropylene barrier film. This film prevents the resins to ingress into the open cells during converting and in this way assures stable mechanical properties in the finished part. At the same time, the quantity of resin needed for processing is reduced to a minimum. The second standard surface finish is a PET non-woven material, which enables an easy bonding of various types of skin materials with all common adhesives.
