2What is aluminum honeycomb core?
Aluminum honeycomb core is a lightweight structural material made from thin aluminum foil formed into hexagonal cells. It offers exceptional compressive strength, fire resistance, and a high rigidity-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for architectural panels, marine engineering, and industrial sandwich panels.
What is aramid (Nomex) honeycomb core?
Aramid honeycomb core, often branded as Nomex, is made from aramid fiber paper impregnated with phenolic resin. It provides outstanding weight reduction, excellent thermal insulation, and superior fatigue resistance -- widely used in aerospace and rail transit applications.
Specifications
3What cell sizes are available?
We offer cell sizes ranging from 1mm to 25mm. Custom cell sizes can be engineered to meet specific structural or acoustic performance requirements for your application.
What foil thicknesses do you offer?
Standard foil thicknesses range from 0.03mm to 0.08mm. Thicker foils provide higher compressive strength, while thinner foils optimize weight reduction. Our engineering team can advise on the optimal specification for your project.
What are the standard panel dimensions?
Standard panels are available in common sizes such as 1220×2440mm and 1500×3000mm. We also produce custom dimensions to suit your specific project requirements with no minimum dimension constraint.
Customization
2Can you provide custom dimensions and specifications?
Yes. We specialize in customized production. You can specify cell size, foil thickness, material type (aluminum or aramid), panel dimensions, and surface finish. Our team will work with you from sample testing through to mass production.
Do you offer sample orders before bulk production?
Yes. We strongly encourage sample testing before committing to bulk orders. Sample orders are available for all standard and custom specifications, allowing you to validate performance in your specific application.
Applications
3What industries do your products serve?
Our honeycomb core materials are used across aerospace, rail transit, architectural cladding, marine engineering, cleanroom systems, industrial sandwich panels, and EMI shielding applications.
Are your products suitable for aerospace applications?
Yes. Our aramid honeycomb core meets aerospace-grade requirements for lightweight performance, structural integrity, and fire resistance. We support sample testing and certification processes for aerospace clients.
Can honeycomb core be used in cleanroom panels?
Yes. Our honeycomb cores are widely used in cleanroom wall and ceiling panel systems. The material provides excellent flatness, moisture resistance, and structural rigidity required for controlled environment applications.
Equipment
2What honeycomb production equipment do you supply?
We supply complete automated honeycomb production lines including gluing machines, stacking machines, hot press machines, sawing machines, and expanding machines. End-to-end production line solutions are available.
Do you offer turnkey production line solutions?
Yes. We can supply fully automated end-to-end honeycomb manufacturing lines. Our equipment engineering team provides installation support, operator training, and after-sales technical service.
Quality
2What quality certifications do you hold?
Mex-core operates under ISO 9001 quality management standards. Our materials undergo rigorous testing for compressive strength, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and dimensional accuracy before shipment.
Can you provide material test reports and certifications?
Yes. We provide full material test reports, certificates of conformance, and third-party inspection support upon request. Sample testing is available before bulk order commitment.
Orders
4What is your minimum order quantity?
MOQ varies by product type and specification. For standard aluminum honeycomb core, we accommodate both sample orders and large-scale production runs. Please contact us with your requirements for a specific quote.
What countries do you export to?
We currently export to the United States, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Russia, Singapore, Malaysia, and India, among other markets. We work with brand owners, distributors, and industrial manufacturers globally.
How do I request a quote?
You can request a quote by contacting us via email or filling out our inquiry form. Please provide your required material type, cell size, foil thickness, dimensions, and estimated quantity for the most accurate pricing.
What is your typical lead time?
Standard lead times range from 2-4 weeks for stock specifications and 4-8 weeks for custom orders, depending on complexity and volume. Production equipment lead times are discussed on a project basis.
