PAA-CORE™ Honeycomb
The Ultimate Aluminum Honeycomb
Using a phosphoric acid anodized metal treatment process developed by Boeing,
Alcore introduced the industry to
PAA-Core CORE aluminum honeycomb back in 1988. (PAA stands for phosphoric acid
anodized.) This is highly corrosion-resistant aluminum honeycomb core with
excellent bonding capability and durability. It is an accepted replacement for
non-metallic core with an outstanding record. One of its distinctions is a high
strength to weight ratio. Over a decade of operational experience has shown
that bond durability between core and skins is critical to long part life, and
for this, PAA-CORE has no equal.
Independent analysis confirms the environmental performance durability of
PAA-CORE, assuring a lower total life cost than with other core materials.
PAA-CORE also has unsurpassed corrosion resistance, experiencing only minimal
weight loss and virtually no loss of physical properties after extended exposure
in an acidified salt spray chamber, which simulates the harshest environmental
conditions.
PAA STRIKEGRID™
Continuous Expanded Aluminum Foil (CEAF)
Continuous Expanded Aluminum Foil is the industry's highest-performing lightning strike dissipation material. Phosphoric acid anodized and coated with a proprietary coating, it out performs all other ductile materials.
DURA-CORE™II Honeycomb
High-Performance Aluminum Honeycomb
DURA-CORE™ II 5052 aluminum honeycomb provides the aerospace and commercial markets with a high degree of flexibility in solving lightweight structural design challenges. Prior to bonding, the foil is cleaned and treated using a proprietary chemical conversion coating. The resulting honeycomb exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in hostile environments, especially salt fog. We produce a broad range of cell sizes and densities, assuring that the correct product will be available for your application.
COMMERCIAL GRADE HONEYCOMB
Alcore's most economical aluminum honeycomb, Commercial Grade Honeycomb is a lightweight structural core material that offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance to meet a wide variety of applications. An advanced protection system is applied to the aluminum foil prior to processing into honeycomb, extending its service life in hot, wet and corrosive environments.

HIGRID™ Honeycomb
High-Strength Corrugated Aluminum Honeycomb
HIGRID™ high-strength corrugate aluminum honeycomb offers an ideal solution for fastener inserts and edge reinforcements in honeycomb structures. It also excels as a high-impact energy-absorber. Produced by bonding together corrugated sheets of aluminum foil, much higher densities are possible than with conventional expanded honeycomb.
TRUSSGRID™ Honeycomb
Three-Dimensional Honeycomb
TRUSSGRID™ three-dimensional honeycomb is a dimensionally stable, naturally vented, rigid core material made of cross-laminated aluminum foil corrugations. With considerable strength in all three dimensions, TRUSSGRID™ offers unique performance in special types of sandwich construction and as a high-impact absorber.
PLYGRID™ Honeycomb
Cross-Laminated Corrugated Panel
PLYGRID™ cross-laminated corrugated panels offer solutions to a wide variety of challenging design problems. Produced from layers of cross-laminated aluminum foil corrugations with a flat sheet of aluminum foil on each face, PLYGRID™ can be cut or machined to form ribs for various aircraft wing or control surfaces. It is also ideal for such diverse applications as heat exchangers, flow diffusers and to prevent liquid from sloshing inside tanks.
