In the span of less than two weeks EconCore and ThermHex Waben have successfully exhibited at composites shows on two continents, at Composites Europe in Germany and CAMX in the USA. The high degree of organization of these two trade shows and the quality of attendees they attract enabled EconCore and ThermHex Waben to [...]
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 [...]
ThermHex Waben GmbH and the state are investing 1.5 million euros in the production plant Halle has been a production location for thermoplastic honeycomb cores since today.
