Features & Capabilities

What performance advantages does the Carbon Fiber Nomex Honeycomb Core offer?

This product delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for applications where minimizing weight is critical without sacrificing structural integrity. The Nomex honeycomb core enhances stiffness and reduces overall panel weight, while carbon fiber face sheets provide durability and resistance to environmental factors. Note: For applications requiring impact resistance, consider Kevlar or hybrid core options.

Can the Carbon Fiber Nomex Honeycomb Core be customized?

Yes, DragonPlate offers customization options including CNC cutting, custom sheet sizes, and specialized laminate schedules for sandwich sheets. Custom fabrication services are available to meet unique performance and design requirements. Learn more at DragonPlate Custom Fabrication. Note: Custom orders may require additional lead time and minimum order quantities.

What industries commonly use Carbon Fiber Nomex Honeycomb Core panels?

Industries such as aerospace, robotics, industrial automation, defense, and medical devices frequently use these panels for their lightweight, high-strength, and durable properties. Case studies include applications in wall-climbing robots, drone technology, and marine defense systems. Note: Suitability for specific applications depends on regulatory and technical requirements; consult DragonPlate for guidance.

Use Cases & Benefits

What problems does the Carbon Fiber Nomex Honeycomb Core solve?

This product addresses challenges such as high manufacturing costs, weight reduction without compromising strength, and the need for durable, reliable materials in demanding environments. It is used to optimize performance in aerospace structures, robotic arms, and industrial automation systems. Note: For applications with extreme impact or fire resistance requirements, alternative core or face sheet materials may be more suitable.

Can you share examples of successful applications of this product?

DragonPlate's sandwich sheets, including honeycomb core panels, have been used in projects such as wall-climbing robots (in collaboration with International Climbing Machines), drone test bed systems (with Eureka Dynamics), and marine defense enclosures (with Frontier Electronic Systems). One customer achieved $1 million in annual savings by implementing a custom carbon fiber robotic arm solution. See case study. Note: Results may vary based on application and design requirements.

Technical Requirements & Support

What technical resources are available to help with design and integration?

DragonPlate provides downloadable CAD models, technical guides such as The Ultimate Guide to Carbon Fiber Design and Application, and detailed product specifications. These resources assist with integrating sandwich sheets into your project and ensuring proper application. Note: Some resources may require registration or may be specific to certain product lines.

How quickly can I implement Carbon Fiber Nomex Honeycomb Core panels in my project?

DragonPlate offers ready-to-use sandwich sheets that can be cut, drilled, and bonded with standard tools, enabling rapid integration into most projects. For custom solutions, additional lead time may be required depending on complexity. Technical support is available by phone at 315-252-2559 or via contact form. Note: Custom fabrication or large orders may extend delivery timelines.

What support options are available if I have questions about this product?

Support is available via phone at 315-252-2559 (Mon-Fri 8:30am – 5:00pm ET), through the contact page, or by consulting the DragonPlate FAQ. Technical documentation and shipping information are also accessible online. Note: For highly specialized technical questions, direct consultation with DragonPlate's engineering team may be required.

Quality & Compliance

Are DragonPlate sandwich sheets manufactured to any quality standards?

Yes, all DragonPlate products, including sandwich sheets with honeycomb core, are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards at the company's facility in Elbridge, New York. This certification ensures consistent quality and traceability. Note: Certification applies to manufacturing processes; application-specific compliance may require additional validation.

Does DragonPlate offer materials that meet regulatory requirements for medical or defense applications?

DragonPlate provides biocompatible and radiolucent materials tailored to meet stringent regulatory standards for medical and defense industries. For more information, see medical applications. Note: Not all sandwich sheet products may be suitable for regulated applications; verify requirements with DragonPlate before ordering.

DragonPlate Nomex Honeycomb sheets are an excellent light weight composite sheet utilizing a Nomex Honeycomb core. Nomex honeycomb is the standard for lightweight non-metallic composite construction. Commercial Grade honeycomb made with aramid fiber paper (DUPONT Nomex or equivalent) coated with heat resistant phenolic resin offers excellent resiliency, low density, lower pricing and high strength to weight ratio.

 

Similar to our foam core product line, Nomex honeycomb is another type of sandwich panel. In essence an I-Beam, the honeycomb acting as the web, and the top skins acting as the flanges. The advantage over an I-Beam is the core creates a box structure giving the panel additional torsional rigidity. Another benefit of a core material is as the core thickness increases the panels stiffness increases dramatically. The Nomex honeycomb offers additional compressive strength with lower densities when compared to low density foam cores. Nomex Honeycomb also has properties including moisture resistance, energy absorption, and sound and vibration dampening.

 

The lay-up design is 0/90 uni-directional with twill weave face sheets with approximately 0.03 inches of carbon on each side of a Nomex honeycomb core.

 

This sheet size has a satin finish on both sides, with options for the face sheet on both sides. Also available in this sheet size is the option for higher modulus uni-directional fabrics.

 

Unlike other manufacturers of Nomex honeycomb, DragonPlate has paid close attention to the most critical component of a high quality honeycomb panel, the bond between the Nomex Honeycomb and the Carbon Fiber skin. If this bond is poor, the skin will easily peel off from the core, destroying the structural integrity of the panel. The contact area between a honeycomb core and the face skins in a sandwich composite is very small, and hence poor bonding is often a problem with these types of materials if incorrectly manufactured. Since the cell walls are thin, proper bonding of the honeycomb core to the face skins relies on the formation of high quality fillets. The fillet becomes the mechanism that transmits the loads from the skins into the honeycomb core. Without sufficient fillet size, the face skins will easily peel from the core.

 

Since ultra-high modulus (UHM) carbon fiber material has certain export restrictions, customers are required to fill out a short form detailing the end use. Both the customer and application will need to be vetted before the product is able to ship. Please fill-out the PDF form to the left and fax or email it back to us if you have ordered the UHM option.

 

Please allow 10-15 days before this product ships if you have added any of the additional options.
