AYRLITE® 2065 Decorative Faced, Aluminium Honeycomb Panel

Product catalog summary

Description
AYRLITE 2065 is an aluminium honeycomb panel with decorative HPL laminate on both faces, ensuring flatness. It is designed for lightweight, high-strength interior fit-outs in private marine craft. The aluminium honeycomb core provides optimal mechanical properties and carries shear loads at a lower weight than other core types.

Features

Complies with ISO 1182 for non-combustibility of the aluminium core.
6.35mm cell size aluminium honeycomb core.
Meets MIL-C-7438 salt fog anti-corrosion standards.
Hot bonded adhesive process.
Available in various decorative finishes.
High stiffness and strength with low weight.
Easy fabrication.
Wide selection of anodised aluminium assembly extrusions.

Applications

Wall linings, doors, tables, furniture, partitions, cabinetry, internal modules (e.g., galleys, toilets), ceilings, and bulkheads.

Fabrication
AYRLITE 2065 can be cut and drilled with standard tools. Fabrication can use Ayres Composite Panels’ extrusions, cutters, and adhesives. Traditional methods like tongue-and-groove can also be applied. Assembly techniques are available on request.

Storage
Unbalanced exposure to moisture can cause bowing. To restore flatness, expose the concave face to the atmosphere overnight.

Safety
Avoid inhalation and eye contact with dust during cutting. Use protective equipment such as hearing protection and safety glasses. Wear gloves to prevent cuts and wash hands after work.

AYRLITE® 2065 Decorative Faced, Aluminium Honeycomb Panel-1

Decorative Faced, Aluminium Honeycomb Panel DATA SHEET Issue 1 ^^^r Lightweight Panel Systems AYRLITE 2065 is an aluminium honeycomb panel faced with decorative HPL laminate. Panels are produced with the same colour/finish laminate to both faces to ensure panel flatness. AYRLITE 2065 is specifically designed to provide a lightweight panel with high stiffness and strength for the interior fit out of private marine craft. Strain-hardened hexagonal cell aluminium honeycomb has optimum mechanical properties and is able to carry shear loads at significantly lower weight than foams or other core types. of aluminium honeycomb core. • 6.35mm cell size, aluminium honeycomb • Aluminium honeycomb core meets the anti-corrosion performance. • Hot bonded adhesive process. • Range of decorative finishes available. • High stiffness and strength. • Wide selection of anodised aluminium assembly extrusions available. • Wall linings. Internal modules eg. galleys, toilets, etc. AYRLITE 2065 can be easily cut and drilled with standard tools, such as circular saws, routers etc. Components or complete interiors can be fabricated using Ayres Composite Panels' aluminium extrusions, cutters and polyurethane paste adhesives. Traditional tongue-and-groove (mortice and tenon) methods can also be used. A CD is available, showing assembly techniques (contact Ayres Composite Panels for details). NOTE: Unbalanced exposure of the panel faces to ambient moisture levels during transport and storage can induce bow in some panels; typically the top and/or bottom panel of a pack. To restore moisture balance and flatness, simply expose the concave face to the atmosphere
