Korex® Honeycomb Phase Out – N636 Kevlar® Honeycomb Logical Replacement

El Monte, California USA – 22 September 2004 – With the impending end of Korex® paper production, Korex® honeycomb will soon no longer be available. The logical replacement for Korex® honeycomb applications is the latest generation N636 Kevlar® honeycomb. The M.C. Gill Corporation manufactures N636 Kevlar® honeycomb in many different cell sizes, densities and paper thicknesses and is qualified to a significant number of aerospace specifications, including many used in both commercial and military aircraft. “Our GillcoreT HK brand Kevlar® honeycomb is used to satisfy a range of customer requirements. For example, it is used in state-of-the-art sandwich panels that we manufacture for the new Airbus A380® aircraft. This high-strength, light-weight honeycomb is clearly the first choice to replace Korex® honeycomb applications, which is essential with the discontinuation of that product,” said Irv Freund, VP Sales and Marketing. Gillcore HK Kevlar® honeycomb can be precisely sliced into sheets for use in sandwich panels or similar applications. It can also be heat formed and CNC 5-axis machined into compound contour configurations for use in many structural applications where Korex® honeycomb was formerly used. For more information about Kevlar® honeycomb contact the M.C. Gill Corporation.
