A New Honeycomb Technology
FLYCORE is a high performance honeycomb product made from a new aeration
process called melt-stretching that entails
pulling melted thermoplastic between
heated plates on an up-acting press.
A One-Shot Process
-The face sheets are integral with the
webbing since they are formed from
the same melt. This gives our product
a performance advantage over existing
honeycombs
-It is fully recyclable since it is made from
one thermoplastic
-The manufacturing process is simpler
and faster, requiring less equipment and
factory space to produce
Above - closed cell Polycarbonate sample with a hexagonal grid. Square, triangular and
other geometries are possible, as are different materials such as PP, PU, and PE. Density and pull dimension are also variable. The webbing can be made heavier or lighter to
suit the application. With variable pull dimensions, material thickness currently ranges
from 1/8” to 6” without the need to change the press set-up.
