Product catalog summary
Introduction
Infusion Grade PP Honeycomb is designed for closed molding processes like Lite RTM and Vacuum Infusion, offering benefits such as lower weight, reduced resin usage, and cost-effectiveness. These processes are environmentally friendly, reducing VOC emissions and improving production efficiency.

Specifications
The honeycomb is lightweight, low-density, and cost-effective, making it ideal for marine, wind energy, and transportation markets. It provides high stiffness and low weight, with properties such as toughness, acoustical, and vibration dampening.

Design and Performance
The honeycomb features a composite surfacing material for maximum adhesion and minimal resin use. It requires careful selection of glass reinforcements for resin flow and includes pass-through holes for uniform resin distribution.

Process Recommendations
  • Resin: Infusion Grades (Polyester, Vinylester, Epoxy) with viscosity < 200cps and gel time of 45-60 minutes.
  • Reinforcements: Infusion Grades (Straight or Stitched Fabrics, Continuous Strand or Flow Mat).
  • Pressure: Up to 1.0 bar for resin injection and flow.
  • Temperature: Process up to 150°F.
  • Flow Distance: 24"-36" maximum with through core holes on 4" centers.


Mechanical Properties
Mechanical properties include flatwise tensile strength, bare compression strength, modulus of elasticity, plate shear strength, and modulus of rigidity, tested per ASTM standards.

How to Specify
Specifications include material type, color, density, cell size, skin types, and part dimensions. Pre-punctured resin holes are available on specific sheet sizes.

Storage and Handling
Store material flat, dry, and covered, protected from UV sunlight and extreme temperatures. Dry material if surface moisture is present.

Quality Standards
Plascore is ISO-9001 registered, employing Lean Principles and offering extensive capabilities like adhesive development, CNC machining, and more.
