CORES

Core materials form the middle layer of sandwich-type composite structures.

They are typically low density materials that separate and stabilize the skin laminates and provide most of the shear rigidity of the sandwich structure. Sandwich construction enables high stiffness to weight ratios in composite structures.

RESINS

Resins act as the support matrix for the fibres, impregnating them and forming the structure of the composite. Resins provide resistance to compression and create adhesion between the fibres and layers of the laminate whilst also keeping the fibres in the correct position and orientation. There are several types of resin available, the most widely used being polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy. They can be used in many different construction methods depending on the chosen process with options including hand or wet lamination, vacuum bagging, infusion and RTM or as prepreg materials where the resin is already combined with the reinforcement fibres.

FIBRES

Reinforcement fibres are the main structural component that drives, among other things, the tensile strength of the structures. There are several types available, with glass, carbon and aramid fibres being the most commonly used in composites. They can be used directly as rovings or as woven, stitched multiaxial or unidirectional fabrics in a wide range of fabric weights and weave styles.
