    Fiberglass Face

    With an aramid honeycomb core sandwiched between carbon fiber or fiberglass for rigidity, these panels are strong, but lightweight, and won’t conduct heat. Often used as wall panels in structural and insulating applications, they’re a lightweight alternative to solid composite and aluminum honeycomb panels.
    Carbon Fiber Face—Carbon-fiber-faced panels are stronger and more rigid than fiberglass-faced panels, so they resist deforming from bending, twisting, or buckling. They will, however, splinter from high-impact blows. These panels are lighter than fiberglass-faced panels. However, they conduct electricity, so don’t use them around electrical components.
    Fiberglass Face—Fiberglass-faced panels are often used around electrical components because they are good electrical insulators. They resist cracks from bumps and hits better than carbon-fiber-faced panels, but are not as strong or lightweight.

    Designed to withstand the punishing heat of jet engines, these panels retain their strength for hours even when exposed to hot gas flames. Tested to EN 13501-1 Class A1, they meet the strictest non-combustibility requirements. Use them as a lightweight alternative to carbon fiber, plastic, or aluminum to make fire-rated enclosures, electrical housings, and structural panels. They can be machined with standard cutting and milling tools. All ship with a traceable lot number printed on the packaging.
