FRP DESCRIPTION

Paper Honeycomb, as manufactured by Tricel, has been used in various FRP products since 1961.  Its greatest success has been in recreational vehicles and practically all RVs of FRP construction use Tricel Honeycomb as a reinforcement.  Not only is it economical, it is more efficient and easier to bond to than closed cell products such as foam, and Tricel Honeycomb is substantially stronger.

Samples include, one impregnated with phenolic resin and the other plain kraft paper, and are typical of the grades used by most FRP manufacturers.  The FRP/Tricel Honeycomb composite panels are typical of the stiffness you can expect by combining FRP and Tricel Honeycomb.  The panel was manufactured by following the 4 step process outlined in the FRP Technical Bulletin.

Whatever your FRP end product, may it be: marine, RV, storage tanks, shower and tubs, or custom products; the use of Tricel Honeycomb can probably save you material costs.  Take a moment to study the Strength and Stiffness graphs, which illustrate honeycomb's ability to greatly improve strength while saving on glass and resin, then contact us for FREE samples to test in your product!
