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.
Key Features of Kevlar Honeycomb Core

- Mechanical Strength is stronger than Nomex by about 40%
- Improved resistance to fatigue and abrasion
- Improved Corrosion Resistant
- Good insulator of electricity and heat
- Flame Retarded
- Thickness starts at 2.5mm
- Two kinds of cell configuration available: REGULAR HEX(RH) and Over expanded(OX)
