The aluminum honeycomb is a hexagonal core product similar to a bee cell. It is light, resistant to compression and cuts, has good fire reaction performaces and resista to corrosion, mould and recyclable.
Aluminium honeycomb as panels’ core has several advantages:
lightweight
stiffness
good fire reaction
compression, shear and corrosion resistance
flatness
Thickness of non-expanded Blocks: 1000mm standard, the diameter of the cells from 3 to 25 mm. The density of the honeycomb depends on the thickness of the foil and the diameter of the cells.
Thickness of expanded section from 3mm to 60 / 200mm approx. (depending on the cell diameter).
Honeycomb density (from 20 to 163 kg/m3) depends on foil’s thickness and on cell size.
APPLICATIONS
As core material, aluminium honeycomb is used in sandwich panels and it is utilised in: floors, roofs, doors, partitions, facades, working surfaces for automatic machines, laser jet cutting and for all products which require an optimal stiffness-to-weight-ratio.
Aluminium honeycomb is used for several of applications (i.e. for tool machines, for serigraphy..etc.) and in different sectors such as: public transport industry,nautical sector, building industry, etc... It is used as deflector for laminar flow-ventilation, and as crash-absorber for kinetic energy.
