Thermoplastic honeycombs bring honeycomb core sandwich panels into a higher performance class. Compared to paper honeycomb cores, thermoplastic honeycombs are much more resilient, especially in a humid environment. A continuous process ensures cost-effective production. Honeycomb cores made from traditional materials such as paper are well known. A novelty, however, are sandwich panels with cost-effective, continuously [...]
Who invented it? The bees. It has been known for centuries that honeycombs are extremely stable and light due to their geometry. No wonder that this honeycomb structure, modeled on materials, has long been used in industry. Especially where low weight and rigidity are important, such as in aircraft construction or more recently in the [...]
