01 / The material system

A lighter way to build.

From fiber to finished structure. Understand the materials, then make an informed core selection.

02 / Inside the structure

The real strength
is in the system.

An aramid honeycomb core separates two face sheets to create an efficient sandwich structure. The skins carry bending loads; the core transfers shear and supports the skins.

Getting the result right means choosing the core, adhesive and face sheets together.

01 — STRUCTURAL EFFICIENCY

Put material where it matters.

Separate the load-bearing skins with a cellular core to build stiffness with less solid material.

02 — MATERIAL CHOICE

Match the core to the conditions.

Balance density, geometry and environmental requirements with grade-specific technical data.

What is aramid honeycomb made of?

Common aramid honeycomb cores are made from bonded aramid paper expanded into cells and reinforced with resin, often phenolic. The paper, resin and cell geometry depend on the specific grade.

Are aramid honeycomb and aramid fiber the same?

No. Aramid fiber is the raw material family. Aramid paper is a sheet form, while aramid honeycomb is a cellular structure made from paper or another aramid reinforcement and a resin system.

How do I choose an aramid honeycomb core?

Start with the panel loads, environment and manufacturing process. Then specify the material grade, cell size, density, thickness and orientation, supported by relevant test data.

Is every aramid core suitable for aerospace use?

No. Suitability depends on the exact material, manufacturing process, traceability and applicable qualification. A material name or a general property description is not an approval.

What details should I include in an inquiry?

Include the application, material or grade, cell size, density, L × W × T dimensions, tolerances, quantity, delivery destination and any test or documentation requirements.
