Honeycomb core Panels and screens

Partitioning and office screening - cardboard honeycomb

The light weight and rigidity of Dufaylite honeycomb make it the ideal core material for non-load bearing partitioning and office screens that are strong and easy to handle on site. Cardboard honeycomb combines readily with hardboard, plywood and plasterboard and is uniquely suited to both straight and curved panels. It also has a high resistance to changes in ambient temperature so that the risk of warping is greatly reduced.

Display and shop fitting panels  - cardboard honeycomb

Dufaylite honeycomb core produces lightweight shop fitting panels with flat surfaces for excellent graphics. It can be used with all types of decorative laminates and it has the consistent thickness that is critical for panels to fit display system framing.

External panels, boats, caravan's - Resin-impregnated honeycomb

Pre-expanded core is impregnated with phenolic resin for applications requiring extra strength and/or moisture resistance.

The regular cell pattern provides uniform load bearing and the resin impregnation ensures long life in humid atmospheres. It is supplied in sheets 900 x 600mm in thicknesses from 9-150mm.

Typical applications are tables, worktops and bulkheads in boats and caravans; exterior signage and building panels; technical and scientific instrument bases and marker boards and noticeboards.

To increase productivity and minimise storage space, Dufaylite honeycomb core can be supplied in continuous form on pallets. Each pallet can hold the equivalent of 1,000 door cores and the core feeds directly from the pallet into the Dufaylite HR4 Expander, which expands it and guillotines it to length automatically at rates of up to 14 door cores per minute. Core lengths and widths can be changed at any stage for a new door panel size.

Using continuous core can reduce the labour content for all types of panel. It also simplifies storage, stock control and forward planning because you only have to keep the thickness you need, rather than both thicknesses and lengths.
