Standard Cell Aramid Honeycomb

Standard Cell Aramid Honeycomb

Aramid Honeycomb is a lightweight, high strength, nonmetallic honeycomb manufactured from aramid fiber paper. After the honeycomb is formed, it is coated with a heat resistant phenolic resin to increase its strength. The core material exhibits high strength to weight ratio, low density, and is very bondable. Aramid honeycomb is becoming increasingly used in high-performance non-aerospace components due to its high mechanical properties, low density and good long-term stability. The Standard Cell honeycomb is manufactured with the typical hexangular cell shape.

  • Thickness:  .060", .125", .185", .250" and .500"
  • Shipping: Thicknesses .250” and under will be rolled for shipping unless otherwise requested.  The .500” thickness honeycomb will be shipped flat and additional shipping and handling charges apply. 
  • Special Order: Other thicknesses available as special order

Over-Expanded Cell Aramid Honeycomb

Over-Expanded Cell Aramid Honeycomb

Over-Expanded Cell Aramid Honeycomb has a rectangular cell shape, thereby allowing the core to flex in one direction easily. Like the standard cell honeycomb, it is a lightweight, high strength, nonmetallic honeycomb manufactured from Aramid fiber paper.  It is coated with a heat resistant phenolic resin to increase its strength.

  • Thickness:  .125",.250"
  • Shipping: Thicknesses .250” and under will be rolled for shipping unless otherwise requested. 
  • Special Order: Other thicknesses available as special order

Aero-Mat

Aero-Mat

Aero-Mat is flexible honeycomb foam mat, used to add structure and thickness to composite laminates. Unlike standard cell honeycomb, "Lansor Soric XF" Aero-Mat is very flexible and will conform to compound shapes. It is a polyester non woven material with a compression resistant hexagonal cell structure. Ideally suited for reinforcing curved laminations where additional stiffness is needed. The cells do not absorb resin and therefore, limit the total resin up-take. Since these cells are pressure resistant, they create thickness in the laminate even when pressure is applied by vacuum bagging. The channels facilitate resin flow and form a pattern of cured resin with good mechanical properties and excellent bonding to outer skins.

  • Thickness: 2mm
  • Width: 50”

Spyder Foam

Spyder Foam

Spyder foam was developed expressly for composite construction. It has two times the compressional strength of blue foam and greater shear strength. Spyder foam's unique design incorporates a fine cell structure that is aligned perpendicular to the surface, creating a ridge honeycomb effect. The vertical cell alignment allows for better penetration of resin into the foam's surface thereby enhancing the bond and the shear strength between the foam and the skin. Spyder foam weighs about 10% more than blue foam and can be cut with a hot wire.

  • Thickness:  5.5”
  • Density: 2.2-2.3 PCF
  • Shipping: Additional handling charges apply.
