3A Composites launches new Airex and Baltek core materials offering significant weight and cost savings for infused sandwich applications.
\n<\/p>\n

The company has developed a new sealing technology which reduces the resin uptake of infused core material. While this reduction is above 50% for their Airex T90 and T92 cores, it is reported to be above 80% for their Baltek SB and SBC balsa cores. Depending on sandwich design, resin uptake can constitute around 15% up to 40% of the infused core materials\u2019 total costs.<\/p>\n

This resin saving not only reduces the cost but also the weight, with the new materials PET-cored sandwiches can now become lighter than PVC solutions.<\/p>\n

3A Composites will launch the Airex T92 SealX and T90 SealX at JEC in Paris, while the Baltek SealX will be presented as a technology platform.<\/p>\n

Along with these new products 3A Composites will also launch a new low-density PET core material targeted at weight and cost-sensitive applications. It is ideally suited for marine applications and meets DNV requirements for boat decks and superstructures.<\/p>\n

Philipp Angst, Director of Product Management at 3A Composites Core Materials, says:<\/p>\n

We have a compelling package of value-adding product solutions and services for our target markets, and we are particularly excited to launch our break-through SealX technology, bringing balsa and PET core materials to a new dimension.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
