Description: | PK2 Kevlar® N636 para-aramid fiber honeycomb is an extremely lightweight, high strength, non-metallic honeycomb manufactured with para-aramid fiber paper (DuPont Kevlar® N636 or equivalent) impregnated with a heat resistant phenolic resin. This core material exhibits improved performance characteristics over Nomex® and Korex® in the areas of weight, strength, stiffness and fatigue. | ||||||||||||
| Features: |
• Up to 40% higher properties than comparable density Nomex® honeycomb • Extremely high strength to weight ratio • Excellent thermal and moisture stability • Improved shear strength and modulus • Conforms to stringent smoke, toxicity and flammability standards • High toughness |
|||||||||||||
| Applications: | PK2 honeycomb is a high performance non-metallic core which can replace fiberglass and Nomex® honeycomb core materials to achieve significant weight reductions without sacrificing performance in most applications. PK2 honeycomb uses include boat decks, aircraft galleys, flooring, partitions, aircraft leading and trailing edges, radomes, flaps, access panels and doors. | |||||||||||||
| Availability: |
PK2 honeycomb is available in sheets, blocks or cut to size pieces in both regular hexagonal and over expanded (OV) cell configurations. Selected densities available in high shear (HS) configuration for higher stiffness.
