CoreFix
Disposable prepreg used to stabilize honeycomb materials during handling and machining. Several advantages versus traditional prepregs and double-backed tapes.
CoreFix® is an innovative prepreg used for stabilizing metallic and non‐metallic honeycomb materials during handling and machining operations. CoreFix is designed to be easily removed from the core without tearing or distorting the honeycomb.
Key Features & Benefits
- Specifically designed to stabilize honeycomb cores during handling and machining
- Compatible with both metallic and non‐metallic honeycomb materials
- Releases cleanly from honeycomb after fabrication with no distortion/damage, and no appreciable residue on the core
- No cleaning processes are required after the removal of CoreFix
- Chemically stable when stored in dry, room temperature conditions, eliminating long wait times for standard cold‐storage prepregs
- Provides a non‐porous, flat skin compatible with vacuum‐chuck machining operations
- Low cure temperature and short cure times provide maximum production efficiency
Product Forms
- Available in roll form
- Compatible with vacuum bag/oven or press processes
- Nominal resin content is 60%; however, other resin contents are available to meet specific customer needs
