HexWeb® A10

Non-metallic honeycombs are manufactured from high temperature resistant aramid paper formed into a honeycomb structure, and coated with a phenolic resin. The combination of aramid paper and phenolic resin gives types A1 and A10 their superior strength, toughness and chemical resistance. The honeycomb cell shape is normally hexagonal for optimum mechanical properties. It can also be overexpanded to produce a rectangular cell shape and provide improved drapeability for the production of curved parts.

Storage & Handling

Product Handling and Safety

The usual precautions when handling fine fibrous materials should be observed. The use of clean disposable inert gloves provides protection for the operator and avoids contamination of material and components. Product safety data sheets have been prepared for all Hexcel products and are available to company Safety Officers on request.
