A paper honeycomb is a structure consisting of hexagonal cavities arranged flatly. Of all possible cell shapes that can be arranged in a row without gaps, hexagonal ones have the best ratio of wall material to volume; in this respect, they represent an optimal shape. Paper Honeycombs are a material with low density and relatively high compaction properties. Paper Honeycombs in various cell sizes, grammages, widths and heights are used as a strong, versatile and lightweight core filler material. Continuous production followed by expansion makes continuous strands possible.

LAMINATED BOARD.

HONEYCOMB.

A laminated board is a sandwich construction in which a honeycomb core is laminated between different paper-based face sheets. Physically, a laminated board adopts the principle of the double-T beam for a sheet structure in that the thin face sheets, with their large distance from the center face, provide a large area moment of inertia and thus high flexural stiffness, while the honeycomb core simultaneously provides shear stiffness and continuously supports the face sheets against buckling and crumpling.

A paper sinus-honeycomb is a columnar structure consisting of flat sinusoidal cavities separated by paper strips. Compared to paper honeycombs, this structure offers significantly higher compressive strength, flexural rigidity and dimensional stability. Due to its still low density combined with the highest compaction properties, the sine honeycomb is always superior to a paper honeycomb in all technical values. Paper sinus-honeycombs in various grammages, widths and heights are used as an exceptionally strong, versatile and lightweight core filler.
