Core Materials

Core material is used between the laminates to add thickness and volume to the whole part while increasing its rigidity. Among the most preferred core materials are PVC foam plates, honeycomb PP plates and non-woven polyester and glass fiber reinforcements. These lightweight materials with low density make the part less heavy compared to the stiffness they provide, thanks to the "Sandwich Structure" they form between the fibers. The use of a core material between a composite lamination allows modulus values to be increased, resulting in a stronger and lighter end product.
