Core materials
Structural cores for sandwich processing are becoming increasingly important in the composite materials market. Mates has always offered a complete range of cores with different technical characteristics (resistance to fire, temperature, impact and pressure) able to fully satisfy the needs of its reference customers. Thanks to this type of product, it is possible to create high-performance products with greater thickness (therefore greater resistance to bending), without however compromising the final weight of the laminate.
Structural cores can be mainly divided into four macro-categories: expanded, honeycomb, natural and needle-punched. Depending on the needs and the type of lamination (vacuum, hand lay-up, infusion, etc.), we recommend the use of different products, the methods of use of which are fully explained in the individual categories.
