HONEYCOMB FACTS

Tricel Honeycomb is a Kraft paper product that is bent, glued, and cut to form a continuous series of triangular cells.  It's a kind of "super corrugated."

When bonded to facing materials to form a sandwich panel lightweight Tricel Honeycomb provides incredible strength and rigidity.  In fact, Tricel Honeycomb products - including Tripanel and Trideck - offer the highest rigidity and strength-to-weight ratios available today.

The secret is in its design.  The Tricel Honeycomb core is 95% open space, but in a sandwich panel it acts like a steel I-beam, carrying shearing, bending and direct loads.  The result: low deflection, low weight and density as low as 1 lb. per square foot.

Tricel Honeycomb comes in a wide variety of grades and forms for outstanding design flexibility.  Honeycomb thickness' range from .4" to 5" (in .005" increments), and 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" cell sizes are available.  Plus, basis weight, cell size and resin impregnation can be manipulated to produce the ideal honeycomb core for virtually any project.

The uses for Tricel Honeycomb are limited only by the imagination.  Every day designers, architects and builders find new applications in addition to those listed below:

• Exhibit/display
• Transportation
• Fiberglass lamination
• Automotive Interiors
• Marine interiors
• Store fixtures
• Construction
• Contract office furniture industries
• Architectural woodwork
• Recreational vehicles
• Partition systems
