Aluminium Flex-Core®, is an innovative honeycomb combining unique flexible cell geometry with the latest high performance core material. Flex-Core® provides strength retention at up to 175°C/350°F and retains its mechanical properties in a curved condition. Flex-Core® also provides higher shear strengths than comparable hexagonal cores of equivalent density and can therefore give valuable weight savings for an equivalent performance.
