Core Materials - SAERCORE™

What It Is:

Product line consisting of sandwich complexes with any desired core and cover materials for mass production of a wide variety of components. Patent pending.

How It's Made Up:

1. Sandwich complexes: CSM, stitchbonded fabric (uni-, bidirectional, multiaxial), woven fabric
2. Resin flow zone: polypropylene, polyester or glass

How It's Handled:

Ideal for closed processes: RTM, RTM light, low-pressure compression, infusion, etc.

Applications:

• Automotive industry
• Boat-building (superstructure, hull)
• Rail vehicle building (wall panelling)
• Agricultural machines (deck of cabin, roof, wing)
• Sanitary facilities (bathtubs, shower enclosures, doors)

Advantages:

• Optimised resin flow, controlled resin usage
• By special cutting and overlapping, two mats can be bonded together without doubling the reinforcing material
• Excellent behaviour in vacuum process with 0.3 – 0.6 bar pressure
• Optimal for injection processes such as RTM light
• Consequently high component quality

Available Widths:

• 300 - 3600 mm
• Advantage: the components of the sandwich complex can be combined as you wish

Opinions From The Field:

• "easy to handle, light, highly drapable"
• "high strength-to-weight ratio"
• "cost-effective"
• optimal surfaces reachable"
