WEIGHT
CORE MATERIALS
Bellcomb has always believed in the benefits of building a lighter and stronger product. When the weight of your panel is a priority we have a wide selection of lightweight solutions to offer. Each of our core materials is lightweight as a standard property, but a few materials weigh even less. Aluminum, Kraft, Nomex™, Polystyrene, and Polisocyante are our lightest materials. Material selection becomes an issue of what other characteristics are important to determine the most appropriate solution to fit your needs. Let our engineering team take those needs and discover the best core material for your panel.

The necessity for a lighter product doesn’t end with its core material. That’s why we offer the widest variety of lightweight skin materials to further extend your panel’s lightweight properties. A number of our skins are nearly identical in weight properties, giving you the advantage of selecting the material best suited to all your panel requirements. Whether you need metals, polymers or woods, we have numerous options to meet your lightweight needs. Combined with the right core, our skins can create an unparalleled lightweight composite panel. Benefits include reduced power demands, higher speeds, greater payload capacity — and whatever else carrying less weight in your panels might mean to your product.
