Product Data Sheet Last Revised: November 2, 2016 BALSASUD® Core - Product Data Sheet BALSASUD® Core is the finest end-grain balsa wood core material in the market, ideal for sandwich construction. It has remarkable physical properties, starting with its outstanding strength-to-weight ratios (high shear and compression strength). It is an all-natural and renewable resource coming from Ecuador. It has exceptional fatigue and impact resistance properties. And it provides phenomenal sound and thermal insulation. In addition, it is a natural fire-retardant material. • • • • Outstanding strength-to-weight ratios High chemical resistance (including styrene) and amazing bonding properties Completely organic, sustainable and renewable resource BALSASUD® Core SG is approved by DNV GL and Lloyd's Register PROCESSING • Prepreg processing (up to 180°C or 355°F) • Resin infusion / injection (VARTM / RTM) • Adhesive bonding • Vacuum infusion • Hand Lay-up and Spray-up • Compression molding (GMT, SMC) APPLICATIONS Marine: Hulls, Decks, Superstructures, Bulkheads, Attachment points, Interiors, Engine beds, Flooring, Molds, Topsides and Stringers Wind Energy: Rotor blades, nacelle covers and spinners Aerospace: Aircraft structures, floor panels, structural panels, air cargo containers, interior partitions and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Transportation: Primary Body Structure, Interior Structure, Sidewalls, Floors, Ceilings and Panels Defense: Naval vessels and deckhouses, panel structures, cargo pallets, containers, aircraft structures, Shelters and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Industrial: Tub & Shower, Tooling, Industrial tanks, Shelters, Construction panels (soundproofing, insulation and decoration), Sports equipment: surfboards, snowboards, skis and wakeboards USA - Texas 5101 Norwood Road Dallas, TX 75247, USA T +1 (214) 905-4359 F +1 (214) 905-4365 Ecuador Km. 24 Via Daule Guayaquil, Ecuador T +593 4-226-7008 F +593 4-226-7007 Europe Via Enrico Fermi, ZAI 46011 – Acquanegra s/C (MN), Italy T
