Product Overview
The core combines an aramid or polypropylene honeycomb with a non-woven mat laminated to each face. During infusion the mat acts as a flow medium, distributing resin uniformly before it enters the cells, preventing the starved areas common with bare honeycomb. The assembly arrives ready to lay up — skins, mat-faced core, and vacuum bag go down in one sequence, often without separate flow media. Cell size and density are matched to the stiffness and weight targets of the panel. Cinon Composites produces the core in cut-to-size panels and standard sheets.
The composite honeycomb core mat is a lightweight honeycomb core pre-bonded with a resin-distribution mat on both faces, engineered for reliable vacuum infusion. Resin spreads evenly across the surface and wets the cell walls without dry spots, so sandwich panels infuse fast and completely. Buyers choose it to cut infusion cycle time and reject rates in large structural panels.

Applications
Build marine hulls and decks
Stiff, void-free sandwich panels infused in one shot.
Speed up wind blade shell infusion
Uniform resin flow over long, curved surfaces.
Produce rail and bus body panels
Flat, consistent sandwich structures at scale.
Make architectural and modular panels
Lightweight panels with predictable thickness control.
Key Advantages
Against bare honeycomb, the mat-faced assembly removes separate flow media and greatly reduces dry-cell risk, which appears as fewer rejected parts and shorter infusion cycles. Against foam cores it offers higher stiffness-to-weight at equal thickness. The ready-to-infuse format also standardizes shop-floor work, making quality easier to control across production runs.
FAQ
Can this core mat be used with polyester and epoxy resins?
Yes — both resin families flow through the distribution mat reliably; confirm flow characteristics with sales before scale-up.
Does the mat remain in the final laminate?
Yes, the face mats bond into the skin laminates and contribute to peel strength and surface quality.
Are custom thicknesses and densities available?
Yes — Cinon Composites supplies cut-to-size panels and tunes cell size and density to your structural requirements.
