    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.

    Rigid Silica High-Efficiency Thermal Insulation Sheets for Furnaces

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thermal Insulation Sheets. Rigid Silica High-Efficiency Thermal Insulation Sheets for Furnaces.
    Typically used in ovens and furnaces, these are the most efficient of our rigid high-temperature insulation sheets. Please note that they require special care when installing since the crumbly material is difficult to work with and will crack easily. Sheets lose strength over time and are intended to be installed behind another facing or insulation material. They resist damage from fire and moisture. Insulation performs best at temperatures above 1,000° F.

    Blankets that protect against sparks and welding spatter stand up better to regular use and larger welding jobs than leather and uncoated fiberglass blankets do. Sealed with a coating, they shed less than regular fiberglass blankets.
