Honeycomb composite panels, by Covestro, are manufactured using a sandwich-like structure consisting of a specially engineered lightweight "honeycomb" center and two strong sheets of surfacing materials on either side. This system provides a lightweight structural solution that produces high strength and extremely lightweight composite parts for both the marine and automotive industries.

The expanded honeycomb core comes in types I, II, and III and can be cut to any unique specification.

Honeycomb Reinforced Substrates

Dayton Bag & Burlap's latest technological advancement has recently been installed. The new line is designed for LOAD BEARING COMPOSITE SUBSTRATES. We call it "FIBER-CORE-PANEL."

Dayton Bag & Burlap along with Covestro have developed a honeycomb sandwich with structural content. The panels are made up of honeycomb core with a top and bottom re-inforced sheeting material to give the sandwich its structure. The re-inforced sheeting developed to provide compression molders with the ability to quickly wet out the top and bottom surface. The process and materials developed will not allow the honeycomb core to completely fill, by leaving space in between the core this give the composite its strength.

The Covestro "Baypreg® F" system produces high strength, extremely lightweight and rigid molded composite parts, such as door panels, sun shades and load panels. The system replaces glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics when a solvent-free resin with excellent mechanical properties is needed.

It is suitable for all compression molding processes and compatible with a wide variety of different core materials and many reinforcing fiber materials.

End products can be found in a variety of automotive vehicle applications including products from BMW, GM, Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Chrysler, and Volkswagen.
