Nomex® honeycomb is a non-metallic, very light and strong product
Made of aramid paper impregnated with phenolic resin, Nomex® has a good electrical insulation capacity and is appreciated for its special lightweight and extreme rigidity features.
The range includes two types of product depending on use:
- industrial;
- aeronautical.
Nomex commercial
Good electrical insulation capacity combined with lightness and rigidity make Nomex® honeycomb a first-class reinforcement.
It is manufactured from aramid paper impregnated with phenolic resin.
Nomex aereonautical
Our clients can choose between commercial and aeronautical grade nomex.
Nomex® is the structural reinforcement of choice for applications in the marine, railway, automotive, military and aeronautical sectors.
