Bodotex Composites Technical Datasheet Balsawood end grain panels Description: Panels made of kiln-dried end grain balsawood. Panels are cut to thickness and sanded to the tolerance. Panels can be supplied as stiff panels, or scrimmed and scored to fit contoured surfaces. Balsawood has superior weight/strength properties to any corematerial, and outperforms most artificial products in high temperature applications. Balsawood has high impact strength, and is superior in fatigue. It will typically find the original shape instead of being crushed under moderate overload. When being used in vacuuminfusion processes, are the individual blocks properly impregnated and sealed, and thereby protected against moisture etc. Typical properties of end grain balsawood panels: Product name: Test standard Unit Rapollo end grain Compressive strength Compressive modulus Tensile strength Tensile modulus Shear strength Shear modulus Density Temperature range Moisture level when packed Panel size, nominal ASTM ASTM ASTM ASTM ASTM ASTM ASTM C365 C365 C297 C297 C273 C273 C271 N/mm2 N/mm2 N/mm2 N/mm2 N/mm2 N/mm2 Kg/cu.m Celcius % Indicated values 12.5 - 13 3905 - 3930 12.7 – 13.3 3495 - 3525 2.9 – 3.0 152 - 160 145-160 - 60 -> + 150 < 12 609,6 x 1219,2 mm Quality: Defects Allowed Defects Not Allowed Blue Stains, Mineral Stains, Brown Stains and decolorations, Sound knots, Pinholes (one per linear foot).
