What is it and

Profile for Hopro Honeycomb
Hopro Honeycomb is available in two types of synthetic
material: ABS and Polypropyleen. |
Both materials are water-resistant
and can also be applied in the foodstuffs industry. |
|
|
The foil thickness influences the load-bearing
resistance. The foil thickness and the material
used for the outer skin determine the stiffness.
If no outer skin is present, the honeycomb
structure has a certain degree of flexibility,
depending on the foil thickness, and can be bent
into the desired shape. Once the skin is layered
over the honeycomb, the shape becomes stiff. |
|
Hopro Honeycomb panels are produced up
to a thickness of circa 160 mm and with a maximum width
of 1270 mm. |
There is no theoretical limit to the
length of the panel, but for practical reasons a maximum
length of 3000 mm is used in practice. |
The honeycomb panel is cut to the
desired size and thickness, with a minimum thickness of
7 mm. The tolerance in thickness is 0.2 mm. |
If desired, Hopro can supply panels with
a dimensional tolerance down to +/- 0.10 mm via
grinding. |

Processing
The honeycomb material can be laminated using heat, and
it can be glued. The glue to be used can, for example,
be a two-component polyurethane glue.
The honeycomb material can easily be cut to size using a
knife. If an outer skin has been applied, the honeycomb
can be cut using a handsaw, band saw, or circular saw.
When grinding the honeycomb material, one should use
fine grinding discs/pads. |
