Carbon-Core Carbon Balsa Wood
Categories: Polymer; Renewable/Recycled Polymer; Wood and Natural Products; Wood

Material Notes: End Grain Balsa, a highly processed ultra light wood product, imparts impressive strength and stiffness to the sandwich panel. The end grain configuration of balsa provides high resistance to crushing, and is very difficult to tear apart. End grain balsa cored panels also have the ability to handle excessive dynamic loads with high resistance to fatigue. CarbonBalsa’s end-grain orientation gives it exceptional compression and shear properties. As an added benefit, CarbonBalsa provides good thermal and acoustic insulation. CarbonBalsa is select quality, kiln-dried, end-grain balsa wood suitable as a structural core material in composite sandwich construction. CarbonBalsa is a naturally renewable resource.
