3D|CORE™ 3 mm XPS HEXAGON | HP-3DXPS-HX-3

3D|CORE™ is the patented product and the retail brand for structure reinforcing foam cores (SRF), developed and manufactured by ESC Extended Structured Composites GmbH & Co.KG from Herford/Germany.

3D|CORE™ is a structure reinforcing foam core, which consists of hexagonal honeycombs, connected together by fine ribs. Through the honeycomb structure, the plate receives a great flexibility, which allows an excellent drapability of the foam core, and thus follows a contour.

The duct system acts as a perfect flow and venting aid during the filling of the material with resin. 3D|CORE™ is a SRF with closed pores. Thus, the material does not absorb fully with superfluous resin. Due to the simplicity of processing 3D|CORE™ improves production processes. So it not only saves time but also material. After curing of the resin the so formed bridges behave like hexagonal double T-beams. These connect the layers together so that forces introduced into the entire structure were optimally distributed. Thus, the technological properties in the area of shear, compressive and flexural strength are improved. In addition, buckling and delamination as well as sudden failure of the honeycomb is excluded. 3D|CORE™ is compatible with all resin systems and selectable in the appropriate foam system. It is the ideal lightweight foam core for your applications.
