    Marine-Grade HDPE Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Marine-Grade HDPE Sheets.
    Also known as starboard, these sheets won’t degrade when exposed to salt water, humidity, and UV light. They’re more rigid than standard HDPE sheets and bars, and have a coarse texture that masks scuffs and scratches.

    Flexible Aramid Honeycomb Cores

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aramid. Flexible Aramid Honeycomb Cores.
    As a strong, lightweight, and buoyant alternative to solid panels, these aramid honeycomb cores are used to make interior wall panels and floor boards in marine, structural, and industrial applications. Compared to aluminum honeycomb cores, they're lightweight and more flexible, so you'll often find them lining boats and high-speed cars. However, they’re not as strong as aluminum cores. Aramid cores also resist flames, self-extinguish without melting or dripping, and are thermal and electrical insulators. Aramid is commonly known as Nomex.
