ASTROBOARD SERIES

Hexalite polypropylene honeycomb is at least 10 times lighter than water, giving it excellent buoyancy in water and fluids.

ASTROBOARD SERIES

For higher shear strength, check out our High Strength Series that offers one of the highest shear strengths in the market.

Hexalite's manufacturing technology allows it to produce honeycomb cells that are extremely consistent regardless of any honeycomb sheet size.

Without the presence of glue as the 'weakest link' in the honeycomb matrix, Hexalite polypropylene honeycomb sheets are more resilient.Įvery cell in a Hexalite polypropylene honeycomb is very stable. Hexalite polypropylene honeycomb cells are fused together rather than glued. As a result, Hexalite polypropylene honeycomb properties are more uniform in all directions across the entire sheet of honeycomb. the 2 orientations in hexagonal matrices. The round cell structures give the resulting cell matrix 3 orientations vs. Hexalite polypropylene honeycomb are made up of cell structures that are round rather than hexagonal, more closely resembling honeycomb structures that exist in nature. The resulting construction behaves much like an I-beam, which benefits from increased strength and stiffness at reduced weight. Hexalite polypropylene honeycomb is typically used as a core material in sandwich constructions whereby it is sandwiched between strong facing skins such as aluminum, steel, wood, paper and fiberglass. Due to its superior all-round properties at competitive pricing, Hexalite polypropylene honeycomb has been widely used in many applications that demand strength-to-weight performance.

Hexalite polypropylene honeycomb is fast gaining popularity across many diverse industries as the world looks for new materials to improve performance, reduce weight and lower costs.
