Top 10 Benefits of Paper HC
Honeycomb core materials have been widely used in sandwich composite applications due to their unique properties. Some of the primary industries already leveraging this technology are Transportation, Furniture, Construction, and Packaging, among many others.
Below are 10 of the many reasons why countless customers choose paper honeycomb core for their application:
1. Sustainable
Paper honeycomb is 100% recyclable, can be made from 100% recycled materials itself, and serves as a substitution for solid and oil-based materials.
2. Lightweight
Paper honeycomb can be 95% lighter than traditional solid wood.
3. Extremely strong
Axxor paper honeycomb can achieve up to 1500 kPa (217 psi).
4. Shapeable
Paper honeycomb is very easy to shape by means of double curving, molding, and milling.
5. High Quality Finish
Paper honeycomb products can enable a Class A surface finish.
6. Predictable Behavior
Unlike most plastic core materials, our products exhibit predictable deformation behavior.
7. Low cost
Paper honeycomb can be a fraction of the cost of other core materials and allows less expensive manufacturing processes.
8. Readily Available Materials
The raw materials used in paper honeycomb (paper and water-based adhesive) are globally available in a sustainable fashion.
9. Easy to process
With our support and process solutions, paper honeycomb is easy to process.
10. Wide Variety of Specifications
Paper honeycomb is available in many sizes and performance levels, allowing your application to be “right-spec’d”.
