What is aramid honeycomb?
Aramid Honeycomb is an aerospace-grade aramid fiber honeycomb exhibits outstanding flammability properties. It is manufactured from Meta-Aramid paper and coated with a heat resistant phenolic resin.
What is honeycomb Kevlar?
Kevlar Honeycomb core is manufactured by impregnating Para-Aramid(commonly known as Kevlar) papers with thermosetting Phenolic resin. Kevlar Honeycomb cores are applicable in building sandwich panels where requirement for strength-weight ratio is the highest. These are almost 40% stronger than its Nomex equivalent.
Is aramid the same as Kevlar?
Some people ask about the difference between aramid and Kevlar. The answer is, no difference exists. Kevlar® is the trademarked brand name for the aramid fiber made by DuPont™. However, due to it being the first para-aramid developed, its name is synonymous with the term aramid.
What is DuPont Nomex?
DuPont™ Nomex® is an incredibly durable, inherently flame-resistant meta-aramid fiber. The unique chemical structure of Nomex® fibers is non-flammable so performance is built in and it can’t be washed or worn away.
What is honeycomb composite made of?
Nomex honeycomb is made from Nomex paper – a form of paper based on Kevlar, rather than cellulose fibres. The initial paper honeycomb is usually dipped in a phenolic resin to produce a honeycomb core with high strength and very good fire resistance.
How strong is aramid?
Mechanical properties: Aramid yarn has a breaking tenacity of 3045 MPa, in other words more than 5 times than this of steel (under water, aramid is 4 times stronger) and twice than this of glass fiber or nylon. High strength is a result of its aromatic and amide group and high crystallinity.
Do you offer Nomex® and Kevlar® aramid paper honeycomb core?
We can now provide our customers with a range of Nomex® and Kevlar® aramid paper honeycomb core, working with Schutz Cormaster. Nomex® and Kevlar® are aromatic polyamides or aramids developed by DuPont™.
What is aramid fiber honeycomb made of?
Aerospace grade aramid fiber honeycomb exhibits outstanding flammability properties. It is manufactured from Meta-Aramid paper and coated with a heat resistant phenolic resin.
What are the properties of a honeycomb?
HexWeb™ Honeycomb Attributes and Properties. 1 Material. 2 Cell configuration (hexagonal, OX-Core, Flex-Core, etc.) 3 Cell size. 4 Alloy and foil gauge (aluminum honeycomb only) 5 DensityCell sizes range from 1/16″ to 1″, with 1/8″, 3/16″, 1/4″,and 3/8″ being the most common. Honeycomb densi-ties range from 1.0 lb/ft3 to 55
What does CR 3 mean on aluminum honeycomb?
Aluminum Honeycomb Hexcel aluminum honeycombs are designated as follows: Material – Cell Size – Alloy – Foil Thickness – Density. Example: CR III – 1/4 – 5052 – .002N – 4.3 Where: CR III® – signifies the honeycomb is treated with a corrosion-resistant coating. 1/4 – is the cell size in fractions of an inch.
