Nomex® Panels

Honeycomb structures are used extensively in aircraft construction to save weight. Honeycomb core made with fireproof Nomex® is coated with a phenolic resin to increase strength properties. (Nomex® is the registered brand name of a flame retardant material by DuPont.) Nomex honeycomb core has high strength-to-weight and rigidity-to-weight ratios, high thermal tolerance, excellent corrosion resistance, and confirms to rigid smoke toxicity and flammability standards.
