PP Honeycomb Core
PP Honeycomb Core is a high-performance structural material made from polypropylene. It features a hexagonal honeycomb structure, which mimics natural honeycomb geometry to offer excellent compressive, shear, and bending strength while minimizing weight.
Its unique combination of light weight, high stiffness, and environmental resistance makes it ideal for industries that require strong yet lightweight materials. From automotive panels to marine decks, construction partitions, and packaging solutions, PP honeycomb core supports structural integrity without sacrificing energy efficiency.
In addition to its performance, the material is fully recyclable, thermoformable, and compatible with a wide range of laminates and surface treatments (such as CFRT, fiberglass, or aluminum). This makes it a versatile solution for both standard and custom composite panel configurations.
Specificities
PP Honeycomb Core panels are engineered for performance in challenging environments. Their closed-cell polypropylene construction resists water, chemicals, and temperature changes, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Key performance characteristics:
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
The honeycomb structure distributes stress evenly, maintaining strength with minimal weight. - Energy Absorption & Vibration Dampening
Ideal for automotive, marine, and industrial use where impact or vibration is present. - Waterproof & Corrosion Resistant
Resistant to moisture, mold, and corrosion—perfect for humid or exposed environments. - Thermoformable & Customizable
Easily molded, cut, or bonded into different shapes and formats. - Recyclable & Environmentally Friendly
Made from recyclable polypropylene, in line with sustainable manufacturing practices. - Temperature Resistant
Performs well in both low and high temperature conditions (from -40°C to +80°C).

Optional layers such as PU foam or anti-slip coatings can also be added. Whether you need large-format panels or CNC-cut components, we are ready to deliver precision-engineered solutions with fast lead times and global support.
Structure of Carbon Fiber PP Honeycomb Panels
The carbon fiber PP honeycomb panel is a composite sandwich structure that integrates performance, efficiency, and aesthetics. The top and bottom skins are made of high-strength carbon fiber, bonded seamlessly to a lightweight polypropylene honeycomb core. This configuration delivers a panel that is incredibly stiff and resistant to deformation, while still being significantly lighter than metal or solid laminate alternatives. The honeycomb core features a circular cell geometry, which effectively distributes load, absorbs impact, and reduces vibration. Together, this structure ensures durability, reduced weight, and superior thermal and acoustic performance, making it ideal for structural and functional components across automotive, marine, and industrial sectors.
