Honeycomb and foam cores are both widely used to create lightweight, stiff sandwich structures. By placing a low-density core between two strong skins, manufacturers can increase bending stiffness and structural efficiency without building a thick solid laminate.
Controlled resin flow is essential for achieving consistent laminate wet-out during vacuum infusion. The resin must reach the entire reinforcement before it begins to gel, while displaced air needs a clear route out of the laminate.
Choosing a composite core material is not only about finding the lightest, strongest or lowest-cost option. The right choice depends on the part itself: how it will be loaded, manufactured, bonded, exposed, assembled and used in service.
Vacuum bagging materials are the consumables and auxiliary components used to create a sealed vacuum environment during composite manufacturing. These materials include bagging films, sealant tapes, peelplies, breathers, infusion meshes, connectors, hoses, and other process supplies that help control pressure, resin flow, air removal, and release.
Many industries now face the same challenge: building larger, stronger and more efficient structures without adding unnecessary weight. Structural core materials help meet this demand by improving stiffness, stability and structural efficiency while keeping weight under control.
