Polypropylene Honeycomb Core
The basic raw material for producing the honeycomb is polypropylene, a thermoplastic, recyclable material from the polyolefin group.
It is an ideal component for any lightweight assembly, as it is extremely light but very strong. It provides high stability at a low weight and is resistant to both heat and corrosion.
The cells within polypropylene honeycomb have tabular form and provide superior stability
Polypropene honeycomb is available with or without a non-woven polyester fabric for greater bonding. With non-woven polyester fabric, pp honeycomb sheet can be easily further bonded with FRP, wood grain sheet, aluminium plate, stainless steel sheet, marble sheet, rubber sheet etc.
Polypropylene honeycomb is also with or without a film barrier under the polyester fabric to limit the amount of resin consumption
