Innovative honeycomb materials are lightening the load in transportation

Honeycomb core solutions reduce fuel consumption and increase payload capacity.
(Photo: © 2018 EconCore, ECNPR009)EconCore has established a reputation as a leader in thermoplastic honeycomb core materials and technology. Connecting the steps of first making the honeycomb core with in-line bonding of skins to make lightweight and stiff sandwich panels has enabled EconCore to license its ThermHex process to companies around the world operating in various market sectors. The key is the technology’s versatility of materials, combined with a high-speed, continuous, cost-efficient production process. EconCore’s ThermHex process allows users to provide performance-to-weight-optimized materials with a honeycomb structure to higher-volume applications than previously possible. Instead of being limited to low-volume and less cost-sensitive domains, EconCore brings honeycomb structure to mass markets.
