Panel Composition

Cores
Honeycomb panels are rigid and torque-resistant due to the tubular structure of each individual honeycomb cell. This structure reinforces the entire surface area of the panel at a consistent rate and prevents the panel from flexing. Whiting Industrial Honeycomb Panels use a number of different honeycomb cores to suit your needs. Common core options include: Aluminum Honeycomb: 3003 & 5052 alloys - Excellent corrosion resistance Nomex® Honeycomb: Non-metallic honeycomb with aramid fiber paper - Excellent resiliency, small cell size, low density and outstanding flame properties. Polypropylene Honeycomb: Tubular cell construction - Available with or without a polyester veil. Paper honeycomb: High strength honeycomb available with moisture resistance - Our most cost effective core. Facings Face and back materials are selected to suit your unique design requirements. Our common panel facings include a wide variety of materials used for many different applications. Panel facings include: Prepainted and mill finish aluminum sheets Prepreg and Phenolic sheets Fiberglass sheets Decorative melamine sheets Aluminum melamine sheets Decorative stainless steel	Aluminum honeycomb faced two sides with aluminum Paper honeycomb faced two sides with aluminum Polypropylene honeycomb faced two sides with pre-painted aluminum
Adhesives
Whiting Industrial Honeycomb Panels are bonded with hot press lamination using adhesives designed to meet the bond strength tests required for your application. Panel adhesives include: Thermosetting epoxies Hot bonding epoxies	Aramid fiber honeycomb (Nomex®) faced two sides with phenolic pre-preg melamine
