Sandwich Core Materials

Sandwich Core Materials are lightweight, structural layers that are embedded between laminate layers in order to build bulk and strength for a part-without adding significant weight. By employing sandwich core materials in your part or mold, you can achieve much higher flexural strength and flexural modulus than using skin laminates alone.

Sandwich Core materials from FibreGlast.com include:
Nomex® Honeycomb-Offers the very best strength-for-weight ratio in this category; flexible, fire retardant, and delivers good impact resistance.
End Grain Balsa-Conforms to practically any simple curve and most gradual curves.
Foam-Includes sheets of vinyl and polyisocyanurate, as well as mix-and-pour foam; all are closed cell and resist water, gas, and oil.
All the Sandwich Core materials in this category are compatible with epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester resins, and can be used for most lay-up techniques, including vacuum bagging and infusion.

Not quite what we had in mind, but I agree those are key elements to any sandwich!

Actually, the bread slice would make a better core. A slice of lunchmeat would make a great outer skin as would a slice of lettuce. Mustard and mayo then would be the 2 part epoxy. So obviously, the typical lunchtime composite sandwich has been put together wrong since it's inception.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Indeed very helpful! How well does the Nomex honeycomb resist compression? Would balsa wood be better in such applications..?
Do an update video with some of the new materials
Sir if i use pvc foam board to apply a fiber glass it is ok. It not be melted the PVC foam board sir
Nice information do you have type of honeycomb material for core material of rotor blades. Thank you,

You can email us at customerservice@fibreglast.com if you are looking for a specific coated honeycomb, but the honeycomb shown is used in the aerospace industry.
Is carbon fiber ever used as an actual honeycomb material? If not why? Tnx you‼️
I have seen a very efficient process that compresses bamboo wood fibres into things like very tough floor tiles. Could this process be used for making wood composite similar to balsa? Also, we have had good results using bamboo fibres compressed into thin sheeting and laminated similar to layers of glass fibre using standard resins. Could this be an alternative to glass fibre matting?
Do u sell that oven ( autoclave) in the background? Where can I get one? Brand and model number?

Unfortunately we do not sell the oven in the background. It has been around here for a long time so I wouldn't be able to tell you where it was purchased. it is a Quincy Lab 30 GC oven.
What is the preferred core material for a boat hull? Honeycomb vs. foam. Which is most impact resistant amongst other qualities?

Marcos, you would need to consult an engineer for that question.
I have attempted a resin infusion using 1.5" thick closed cell foam core. I wrapped the core after machining with carbon. The mold side is always getting large dry spots even though on bag side I can see the peel ply has wet out fully using the green infusion media. Can you tell me what went wrong? no vacuum leaks, im using infusion epoxy, and it took about an hour to wet out completely. Any reason the mold side (underside) of the fabric wouldnt be wet out?
