Description
Honeycomb core materials are structures that have geometry of honeycomb. Its main characteristic is that it minimizes the amount of material used to reach minimal weight and cost. The cells in the structure are columnar or hexagonal in shape. Materials such as paper, thermoplastics or cloth are used for building the honeycomb panels which have structural strength regardless of the component strength. The application of honeycomb core materials ranges from building products, ceilings, fixtures, platforms, canopies, elevator interiors. It is also used in building ground transportation like rail, truck, recreational vehicles, military tanks. Honeycomb materials offer high strength to weight ratio that satisfies demands of sporting goods, boat decks, hatches etc.
