Technical Data Sheet bCore D200 1. Product description Bcore D200 is a structural core suitable for composite applications. The core is made of Balsa Plywood and of flax fiber reinforcement to significantly improve mechanical properties, especially shear properties in length direction. Also the fatigue properties are greatly improved by the flax reinforcements, ensuring constant long term shear properties. The balsa plywood ensures an exceptionally high compression strength and stiffness with good bending properties of the core. 2. Specifications Core construction Wood type: FSC certified BANOVA® balsa plywood Reinforcing flax: Bcomp amplitex #5008, 60% fibers, 40% resin Dimensions Standard width: Size M: 120mm, Size L: 140mm, Size XL: 160mm. Other width on request. Thickness: 2-300mm, net-shape profile available on request Maximum length: 2420mm Number of flax reinforcement: Size M: 4, Size L and XL: 5

Technical Data Sheet x direction is length direction parallel to ribs y direction is width direction z direction is out of plane direction • D200 cores can be machined with high-speed wood working machine. • Best results for shaping D200 cores are obtained with belt sanding machines. • For contour milling, climb milling has to be preferred as conventional milling • With CNC-milling, be careful with the transition from the stiff flax reinforcements to the softer • After machining, cutting dust has to be carefully removed with vacuum cleaning equipment • The fibrous surfaces of the flax reinforcements...
