Honeycomb Sandwich Construction

Honeycomb Sandwich Construction

A cost-effective and superior sandwich construction uses end-grain balsa wood. This material has exceptional bond, high impact and fatigue resistance with excellent strength/stiffness and lightweight properties. Balsa wood is “mother nature’s” honeycomb material. Balsa has a high-aspect ratio and directionally aligned cells such that the grain is oriented in the direction of the maximum stress. Balsa has a proven track record in products such as pleasure boat hulls, military aircraft, vehicles, and corrosion-resistant industrial tanks.
