Discontinued (Discontinued) PE6839 Aramid Honeycomb

Aramid Honeycomb Description

Aramid Honeycomb is a composite core material made by expanding aramid fibre sheets into a hexagonal cell structure. This honeycomb design delivers exceptional mechanical properties at very low weight, making it ideal for sandwich structures in load-bearing, impact-resistant, or lightweight applications.

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) provides Aramid Honeycomb in customised dimensions, cell sizes, and densities, with optional processing such as hole drilling, threading, beveling, or groove cutting to meet diverse application needs.

Key Features

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Ideal for weight-sensitive structural applications.

• Impact and Shock Resistance: Excellent energy absorption under mechanical stress.

• Thermal Stability: Performs reliably up to ~300°C (572°F).

• Acoustic Insulation: Reduces noise and vibration in aerospace and automotive environments.

• Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for marine, chemical, and outdoor use.

• Customisable: Available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and configurations.

Aramid Honeycomb FAQs

Q1. What is Aramid Honeycomb?

Aramid Honeycomb is a composite material made from aramid fibres (such as Kevlar) that are arranged in a honeycomb structure. It is lightweight, yet strong, offering excellent impact resistance, durability, and thermal stability.

Q2. What are the main benefits of Aramid Honeycomb?

Lightweight: Its honeycomb structure reduces the overall weight of applications.

High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Provides exceptional strength while remaining lightweight.

Durability: Resists impact, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.

Sound Insulation: Offers excellent acoustic properties for noise reduction.

Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for harsh environments, including marine and aerospace applications.

Q3. How is Aramid Honeycomb manufactured?

Aramid Honeycomb is typically made by bonding aramid fibres into a hexagonal honeycomb structure using adhesives or resin. The fibres are woven into sheets, which are then expanded into a honeycomb core. The resulting material is lightweight yet offers high strength and stability.
