With their successful joint project to apply thermoplastic sandwich moulding technology to a real component structure of a truck cab ThermHex Waben is nominated together with its partners at JEC Composites Innovation Awards.
The use of fibre-reinforced plastics in sandwich construction enables highly efficient lightweight structures. Leading international experts presented and discussed current trends in material and technology development as well as new fields of application for sandwich materials at the "Fibre Composite Sandwich Conference" in Halle (Saale) on 24-25 April. They presented solutions in the field [...]
This year we'll present again some of our largest innovations: The new patented ThermHexWAVY honeycomb core is characterised by an improved honeycomb geometry, which increases the buckling strength of the honeycomb cell walls. At the JEC we'll be showing product samples with the ThermHexWAVY honeycomb geometry and will explain the advantages of the new ThermHexCOEX process. Visitors of the ThermHex Waben booth will be provided with expert advice and insights into the wide range of applications of thermoplastic honeycomb sandwich technologies as well as the opportunity to discuss possible new projects and cooperations.
The 3rd Composite Sandwich Conference in Halle (Saale), Germany, on April 24-25, 2024, will once again bring together industry experts in a conspiratorial exchange to generate new ideas. In keeping with tradition, the conference will begin with an evening event at the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. The program will feature exciting presentations on material and technology innovations as well as industrial applications in the field of composite sandwich structures. Insights will be provided by Airbus Helicopters, Audi, Porsche, Solarge, Evonik Operations and Daimler Truck.
ThermHex presents its honeycomb cores made from polypropylene (PP) in panels for solar modules at the JEC World in Paris, the world’s largest exhibition for composites. From 25 to 27 April 2023. ThermHex will give industry professionals a first look at the new product variations – Made in Germany. Cost-effective lightweight: Sandwich panels with [...]
“Our polypropylene honeycomb cores offer cost savings and weight reductions while providing optimal mechanical performance for composite sandwich panels and parts. Sustainable thermoplastic honeycombs have found their place within a variety of lightweight applications. We can now produce with equal high production speed and low production cost our honeycombs with a smaller cell size, leading [...]
The location of the new logistics site in Halberstadt for the worldwide supply of spare parts for Daimler trucks is very welcome news for the region. The company attaches particular importance to ecological aspects such as solar cells to supply the site. The focus is also increasingly on more environmentally friendly aspects when it [...]
KreiFaDeck project With the financial support of the European Union, ThermHex Waben GmbH is developing in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems (IMWS), a recyclable PET-based fibre composite face sheets for the inline production of cost-efficient thermoplastic sandwich structures. The overall objective of project KreiFaDeck is to investigate a [...]
ThermHex Waben, specialist manufacturer of thermoplastic polypropylene honeycomb cores for lightweight sandwich panels and composites, have increased the efficiency of their production with the introduction of an in-line Hammer IMS Marveloc-CURTAIN basis-weight measuring system. The three-headed sensor is a radio transceiver and scans across the full 1.4 m width of the production line, checking [...]
Over 100 composites and sandwich construction experts from around the world have spent two days exploring the technical challenges of how to strip weight from transport using honeycomb cores. The experts attended the joint Thermhex and Fraunhofer IMWS Composite-Sandwich Conference held in Halle (Saale) at the end of May (24 – 25 May 2022).The delegates [...]
