Kevlar® helps contain cracks in the structures caused by natural disasters. Honeycomb composites made with DuPont™ Kevlar® entered the market about 15 years ago and proved to be the most efficient weight saving solution for the aerospace industry due to even higher specific strength and stiffness compared to DuPont™ Nomex® solutions.Ĭonstruction composites help strengthen concrete structuresĭuPont™ Kevlar® deliver performance and value to customers in the construction composites industry by helping to provide better elongation properties. Nomex® honeycomb composites are also used in the construction of boats to help provide buoyancy that enhances speed. Stiff, thin Nomex® sheet structures are used to help make strong, yet lightweight, honeycomb sandwich composite found in aircraft parts such flooring panels, interior walls, storage bins, exterior control surfaces, engine nacelles, and helicopter blades and tail booms. Honeycomb Composite Made Lighter and StrongerĭuPont™ Nomex® and Kevlar® honeycomb composites and DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber in other forms helps provide lightweight strength, stiffness, toughness, corrosion resistance and other attributes, which bring high value-in-use to industries such as mass transportation, construction, and marine shipping.įor more than 30 years, the transportation industry has embraced honeycomb composite made with DuPont™ Nomex® for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, which helps to provide vital cost-effective benefits like energy savings and payload increases.
