3A Composites Core Materials BALTEK® SB.50 Structural End-Grain Balsa
Categories:	Other Engineering Material; Composite Core Material; Polymer; Renewable/Recycled Polymer; Wood and Natural Products; Wood
Material Notes:	BALTEK® SB is a core material produced from certified kiln-dried balsa wood in the ‘end-grain’ configuration. It has extremely high strength and stiffness to weight ratios, and achieves an excellent bond with all types of resins and adhesives. It is compatible with a variety of manufacturing processes and is resistant to temperature changes, or exposure to fire, or chemicals such as styrene. BALTEK® SB is an ideal core material for an extensive range of applications. All while being a renewable resource. Characteristics: Extremely high strength and stiffness to weight ratios Excellent fire performance Ecological product Wide operating temperature range -212 °C to +163 ° C (-414 °F to +325 °F) Excellent fatigue resistance Good sound and thermal insulation High impact strength Good moisture resistance Applications Marine: Hulls, decks, bulkheads, superstructures, interiors, tooling + molds Road and Rail: Floors, walls, roof panels, body panels, interiors, front-ends, side skirts Wind Energy: Rotor blades, spinners, nacelle covers, generator housings Aircraft: Floor panels, galley carts, interior partitions, cargo pallets, containers, general aviation (sport aircraft) parts Defense: Naval vessels, containers, cargo pallets, shelters Industrial: Tooling, tanks, ductwork, impact limiter, concrete forms, fascia panels, skis, snowboards, wakeboards
