Aramid fiber honeycomb PK2

para-aramidpaperfor aeronautical applications

PK2 para-aramid fiber honeycomb is an extremely lightweight, high strength, non-metallic honeycomb manufactured with para-aramid fiber paper impregnated with a heat resistant phenolic resin. This core material exhibits improved performance characteristics over Nomex® and Korex® in the areas of weight, strength, stiffness and fatigue. Features: - • Up to 40% higher properties than comparable density Nomex® honeycomb • Extremely high strength-to-weight ratio • Excellent thermal and moisture stability • Improved shear strength and modulus • Conforms to stringent smoke, toxicity and flammability standards • High toughness • Long shelf life. The mechanical properties referenced are maintained for 10 years minimum if not exposed to moisture, weather or any normal hazard. Applications: - PK2 honeycomb is a high performance non-metallic core which can replace fiberglass and Nomex® honeycomb core materials to achieve significant weight reductions without sacrificing performance in most applications. PK2 para-aramid fiber honeycomb uses include boat decks, aircraft galleys, flooring, partitions, aircraft leading and trailing edges, radomes, flaps, access panels and doors. Availability: PK2 honeycomb is available in sheets, blocks or cut to size pieces in regular hexagonal cell con gurations. Selected densities available in high shear (HS) con guration for higher stiffness.
