Aluminium honeycomb is used for several of applications (i.e. for tool machines, for serigraphy..etc.) and in different sectors such as: public transport industry,nautical sector, building industry, etc...
As core material, aluminium honeycomb is used in sandwich panels and it is utilised in: floors, roofs, doors, partitions, facades, working surfaces for automatic machines and for all products which require an optimal stiffness-to-weight-ratio.
Aluminium honeycomb as panels’ core has several advantages:
lightweight
stiffness
fire resistance
compression, shear and corrosion resistance
flatness
Aluminium honeycomb can be used as deflector for laminar flow-ventilation, and as crash-absorber for kinetic energy.
Thickness of non-expanded Blocks: 1000mm standard, the diameter of the cells from 3 to 25 mm. The density of the honeycomb depends on the thickness of the foil and the diameter of the cells.
Thickness of expanded section from 3mm to 60 / 200mm approx. (depending on the cell diameter).
Honeycomb density (from 20 to 163 kg/m3) depends on foil’s thickness and on cell size.
The aluminum honeycomb has passed several fire reaction tests: it was considered incombustible according to the FTP Code 2010, obtaining the IMO Med, Mod B and D. certification, the A1 for building according to the 13501-1 standard , and the M0 according to the French standard NF-P 92-501-1995.
