This is the single core structure for industry. It can be provided with approximately 6 mm (1/4”) width for 9-10 mm (3/8”) thickness, standard is 10 mm (3/8”) for 16 mm (5/8”) and 16 (5/8”) for 25 mm (1”) gauge - and all thinkable combinations. These cores usually are made of 0.5 to 0.9 mm (1/32”) Polystyrene or ABS recyclates, and can be fire protected to European standard B1 (DIN 4102/1), as well as primed for all commonly known glues, adhesives and resins - but is not recommended for hot-pressing at more than 70°C.

Can be made from ABS, PET-G, Polycarbonate, PP, PVC. Can be made with a fire rating, bio-degradable, wiring can be fed through the core

A core structure as before with skins of 0.5 mm hard Aluminium (AlMg3 F29)makes a rigid panel. It inherits a bending and tensile strength almost comparable to solid Aluminium and is not only less than half of it in weight, but offers thermal isolation, while it substantially reduces vibration and sound transmission. This material is ductile at 80°C to be bent or trundled, otherwise riveted and screwed directly, thus being suitable for vehicle bodywork, boat- and shipbuilding. Cutting it is quite easy with all kinds of saws.

Made with massive skins of polystyrene films, Nanocore are well suited for concrete casing on steel or aluminium frames without formwork release oil, since concrete does not stick to it. Dead molding or combination as water barrier proposes applications in civil- and hydraulic engineering. Nanocore-Casing is as well suited for exhibition booths, kitchen- and bathroom fitting etc. and is recyclable in mono-fraction.

For Industrial furniture production, in particular countertops, occasional- and garden furniture, but also for exposition architecture and shopfitting, this type of panel, having two skins of massive HPL and a core of flame-retardent ABS, is a perfect choice. Since cutting requires professional machinery anyway, thicker facings (as MDF or HDF) are as well applicable and so traditional edging techniques can be applied - even then at substantially reduced weight. Nanocore-Laminate is available in many of decors, or can be made to order with customer-supplied facings. Nanocore-Longlast may be processed with self-sharpening octagon-bladecutters (e.g. Bosch’s Xedo) or industrial jet cutters. Trimming with saws or blades would be dulling them on short term.

Wherever low weight of panels need to be matched to conditions of high pressure load, vibration and abrasion, Nanocore®Longlast is the best choice. Featuring skins of GRP (glass fabric with epoxy matrices +PU-primer) it offers skid-freee surfaces with high abrasion and UV-protection. Depending on thickness of core structure and skins (between 0,2 and 1.2 mm GRP), pressure resistance can be achieved up to 3 N/mm2 and bending strength of 6000 N/mm2 at a grammage of 4 kg/m2 Applications may be concrete sheeting on aluminium frames, which then can be handled manually without cranes, but also for scaffolding panels, bulkheads and cabin construction in boats and ships. Other applications are for civil engineering, truck superstructure and reservoir construction.

Wherever otherwise textured glass or clear plastics would be applied, Nanocore®Clear might be a good alternative with much less weight, no risk of breaking and splinters, good thermal and acoustical isolation and quite low cost. Cores are made of high-grade PET-G, the decks as well (fairly UVresistant by nature), Nanocore®Clear is thermo plastic to some extent and can be recycled as mono-fraction. It may well be applied on door fills, particularly for lightweight sliding doors, shower partitions, furniture design and other indoor applications. For longtime outdoor applications a version with scratch and mar resistant PMMA and a special UV-barrier is recommended for skylights, greenhouses and winter gardens, carports and balustrades. Nanocore®-Plywood For easy, but conventional processing Nanocore are offered with decks of 3-ply Paulowina or Okumé /Poplar plywood of 2.7 mm on both sides - top-layer of good peeled, or fancy veneer (grain lengthwise), or rotarycut B-grade (grain direction square) for further veneering. High Density Fiberboard can as well be offered, but is heavier.
