Plascore_HC_Data-1

Light, Strong, Tough, Cost-Effective Plascore PP Honeycomb is a tough, lightweight and ductile polypropylene material that provides efficient and optimum mechanical performance in composite sandwich structures. PP Honeycomb is an excellent alterna- tive to traditional core materials such as plywood, balsa and foam used in manufacturing consumer and industrial products. Available in a wide range of sheet sizes and facings, PP Honeycomb is engineered for ease of use in many mainstream manufacturing processes, is readily available and can be modified to meetspecific requirements for strength and stiffness. Plascore PP Honeycomb is used in many composite sandwich structures that require core shear, compression and adhesion performance. The unique cell structure, the use of a high impact copolymer PP and unique material processing contribute to its attractive performance levels. Skin Type with Film Barrier Skin Type Skin Type • Multi-axial structure provides isotropic performance ' Engineered raw materials for higher performance • Uniform and uninterrupted cell structure ' Non woven surfacing is compatible with most resin systems ' Minimizes laminating resin for full wet out • Continues to absorb energy, even after ultimate yield Marine & Recreation - Easy to use in open or closed molding processes, PP Honeycomb offers a high strength-to-weight ratio that satisfies the demands of many applications. Boat decks, partitions, stringers, hatches and doors are just a few examples. Transportation-PP Honeycomb when used in a thermoset or thermo- plastic sandwich structure provides an economical, lightweight solution for doors, sidewalls, bulkheads and shelving. Building Products- Providing structural support in a low cost, easy to use product is essential for many thermoset building product applications such as bath and shower, sub floors, walls and more. Commercial- PP Honeycomb mechanical properties, moisture, chemical and impact resistance as well as vibration dampening offer improved perfor- mance benefit for indoor and outdoor industrial doors, platforms and covers. Automotive-Load floors, package trays, spare tire covers, bolsters and pillars are just a few applications that utilize Plascore PP Honeycomb performance and processing features.
