New weight optimized density grade Average sheet density of 132 kg/m3 BALTEK® SBC.80 BALTEK® balsa wood is well known for its superior mechanical properties due to its natural honeycomb structure. However, products are mostly limited to a few specific densities. This often results in laminates which are over-engineered and heavier than necessary. Wouldn’t it be great to design with a balsa core having a slightly lower density but still strong properties, and without concern of limited supply? By utilizing our own plantations and state of the art production facilities, 3A Composites A IREXBALTEKBANOVA is in the unique position to offer a weight optimized balsa density: BALTEK® SBC.80. We optimized nature’s toughest core material for modern composite applica

BALTEK® SBC.80 New weight optimized density grade What is BALTEK® SBC.80? BALTEK® SBC.80 is a new product introduced by 3A Papua New Guinea. Studies from 3A Composites solu- Composites A IREXB ALTEKB ANOVA , the world’s market tions’ engineering team together with WINDnovation leader in structural core materials. With SBC.80 custom- Engineering Solutions GmbH have shown that even ers have the exclusive opportunity to reduce the weight though the weight reduction is 10%, the decrease of of their laminates. Even high volume applications can sandwich properties is minimal. BALTEK® SBC.80 balsa benefit...
