Fibrelam - 37685 Product Data

Description Fibrelam
® structural sandwich panels have been in service since 1973 and are currently approved forflooring by major aircraft manufacturers and airlines worldwide. These extensively flight-proven panels offeroutstanding mechanical and physical properties, can be easily cut and machined on equipment normallyfound in airline maintenance shops, and are easy to install. Features
â–  Unidirectional cross-plied fibreglass skins bonded to aramid honeycomb core
â–  Lightweight, high performance
â–  Superior resistance to corrosion, moisture and fungus
â–  Low levels of smoke generation
â–  Optimized to improve properties such as impact
â–  Easily cut and machined or supplied as a finished panel Applications Panels in the following grades are available in standard sizes (see panel dimensions on page 3). In additionto the grades listed below, Fibrelam is also available in other grades, offering a broad range of performancecharacteristics. Grade 1 panels are made with medium density honeycomb core and are suitable for high-traffic areas onthe aircraft such as galleys, aisles, entrance ways and lavatories. Grade 5 panels are made with low density core and are used for lower-traffic areas such as under seats. Grade 1-3/3 panels are made with medium density honeycomb core and are designed to meet acombination of high bending load and impact resistance requirements in heavy-traffic areas. They areprincipally used in aisles and in the wing carry-through structure area of an aircraft. Grade 1-4/2 panels are made with medium density honeycomb core and are designed to meet acombination of high bending load and impact resistance requirements. They are principally used in cargoareas. Grade 11 and Grade 12 panels are made with high density honeycomb core and are suitable for veryhigh-traffic areas such as galleys and entrance ways. The panels are designed to meet high shear andcompression load requirements. Grade 15 panels have the same density honeycomb as Grade 5 panels, but at an increased thickness.They are used in cargo areas.
