FULLY MANUFACTURED HONEYCOMB PANELS
Honeycomb panel is one of the most important engineering innovations of composite industry. Tulpar Interior Group uses honeycomb panels in aircraft and vessel cabins taking the following advantages of this product:
- lightweight;
- high stiffness;
- static strength is 20-40% higher;
- longitudinal compression stability is 2-4 times as much;
- quantity of a component parts is reduced by a factor of 3-4;
- component surface is more smooth;
- thermal properties are 3-5 times as much;
- acoustic performance has increased three-fivefold.
