Excellent Strength-to-Weight Ratio
- Excellent compressive strength
- Good shear strength. For higher shear strength, check out our High Strength Series that offers one of the highest shear strengths in the market.
- Extremely light
- Hexacor polypropylene honeycomb is at least 10 times lighter than water, giving it excellent buoyancy in water and fluids
Large operating temperature range
- -30°C to 80°C (-22°F to 176°F)
Does not absorb water
- Polypropylene's water absorption is negligible, which makes Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb an excellent core material for constructions that are constantly exposed to water and moisture
Excellent corrosion resistance
- Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb is extremely resistant to corrosion by most chemicals, salt water, fungi, decay and weather
Superior shock absorption and impact resistance
- Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb is an excellent constant force absorber. Once the honeycomb has exceeded its compressive yield strength, it will crush at a uniform and predictable rate.
Superior Fatigue Resistance
- Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb is resilient. Unlike metallic honeycomb, it has "mechanical memory" which allows it to snap back to its original form. It is also able to withstand bending without breaking like certain stiff foam materials.
Excellent sound insulation
- Polypropylene has a natural low harmonic of 125-150 Hz, which makes Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb an effective core material for vibration damping and noise absorption.
- If greater sound insulation is required we can supply foam filled honeycombs.
Good Thermal insulation
- Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb has good thermal insulation properties due to the polypropylene cell walls and the dead air space in between.
- If greater thermal insulation is required we can supply foam filled honeycombs.
Environmentally Friendly
- Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb is 100% recyclable
Ease of Application
- Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb is easily thermoformed in large sheets and contours easily to the required curvature
- Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb is compatible with most resin systems and the majority of composite manufacturing processes.
- Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb can be easily glued, welded or cut to shape.
- Hexacor Polypropylene Honeycomb can be easily
laminated with a large variety of facing materials |
