Nomex Over-Expanded Honeycomb Core 1/8" Thickness 48"x96"

Nomex® Over‑Expanded Honeycomb Core Material (Aramid) – Lightweight Curvable Composite Core

Nomex® over‑expanded honeycomb is a high‑performance aramid core designed specifically for curved and contoured composite structures. Unlike standard honeycomb, the over‑expanded cell geometry allows the core to flex and form to complex shapes while still delivering excellent compressive strength, shear strength, and stiffness once bonded into a sandwich panel.

This lightweight, non‑metallic core provides an exceptional strength‑to‑weight ratio and outstanding durability, making it ideal for aerospace, marine, transportation, and industrial composite applications. Nomex honeycomb is naturally resistant to corrosion, moisture, fatigue, and chemicals, and offers excellent fire performance with low smoke and toxicity.

Shipping Note

Due to the large size of these panels, shipping is based on dimensional weight, which may result in a billed shipping weight higher than the actual product weight.
