CORE MATERIAL FOR FIBER REINFORCED PLASTICS

Core material consists of a PES carrier non-woven in which expanded microspheres are spread homogeneously to achieve the desired volume. For over 40 years now surfacing veils have been used in the fiber reinforced plastics industry. The applications are diverse, from the construction of anti-corrosion tanks and pipes, UV resistant surfaces on acade panels, and often in special applications such as gluing aids for skis and snowboards.

Core material was developer specifically for the production of lightweight fiber reinforced plastics parts such as boat bodls, machine housing, car body parts, or facing elements in the building industry. With core material the required wall thickness can be constructed easily and quickly.

Advantages in comparison to laminates made from purely resin and glass:

• weight reduction due to less resin and glass consumption (with same thickness)
• higher stiffness (with same weight)
• improved surface, no print-through of the glass structure
• cost savings in production time, resin and glass usage

Core material is easily impregnace with all commercially available resinos. Core material i salso easy to work with in the hand lay-up and fiber spraying process. Core material is available in serveral thickness, just as the application and the requirements demand.
