Kevlar Honeycomb Core

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.
