Balsa for composites core material BALTEK® SBC

sheet

- grown on 3A Composites balsa wood plantations - physical traceability of time to kiln (T2K) - outstanding strength and stiffness to weight ratio - fulfills most FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) requirements - extremely wide operating temperature range - excellent fatigue behavior Properties Extremely high specific stiffness and strength Excellent fire behavior Ecological product from FSC®-certified plantations Full traceability and highest-quality wood due to stringent process control from seedling to delivery Very broad operating temperature range from -212 °C to +163 °C Excellent fatigue resistance and impact resistance Excellent sound absorption and thermal insulation Excellent chemical resistance Applications Ship and boat construction: hull, decks, bulkheads, superstructures Wind farms: rotor blade shells and webs Automotive and rail: floor, side and roof panels, front and side covering Aerospace: floor plates, bulkheads and structural parts of sport aircrafts Military applications: naval boats, containers, transport pallets, shelters Industrial components: covers, sports equipment, tanks, mold construction Processing Vacuum infusion Hand lamination / spray lay-up Prepreg processing (up to 180 °C) Resin injection (RTM) Adhesive bonding BALTEK® SBC is our balsa wood core material from controlled cultivation. FSC certification ensures that 100% of balsa wood comes from plantations and that all production steps are subject to stringent monitoring. This guarantees highest-quality balsa wood and full traceability from the end product back to the seed.
