High speed cost efficient honeycomb core process technology bringing innovation in building materials and applications

Abstract

For some years now many leading companies have used EconCore ThermHex technology for making thermoplastic honeycomb core materials and panels. With licensees on three continents including North America, Europe, and Asia, companies targeting industrial packaging, automotive interiors, commercial transportation, for example, find competitive advantage in the high speed, continuous in line production process that distinguishes the technology. Furthermore, the range of core and skin material combinations with a variety of thermoplastics proven for core production and skin materials ranging from thermoplastics for mono-material sandwich panels, to fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites, metal skins and more, broaden the field of possibilities across many sectors.
