WHAT

IS

"HONEYCOMB"

HONEYCOMB is manufactured from impregnated kraft cellulose fiber, and consists of a series of corrugated ribbons which, when nested together, form hexagonal cells and can be manufactured in various sizes and lengths. This remarkably lightweight material is approximately 95% air and only 5% material. It is similar in appearance and strength characteristics to the honeycomb of bees.

RAPID MODULARS's exclusive formulation of phenol and selected polymers impregnation greatly enhances the physical properties, increases resistance to moisture, increases resistance to decay fungi and insects such as termites and ants. For example, RAPID MODULAR's exclusive formulation will retain 70% of its original dry strength after prolong water soaking for 48 hours and return to its original strength after it dries.

When HONEYCOMB is used as the core of a sandwich panel structure it has many applications in the building industry, such as exterior walls, interior partitions, floor panels, roof panels, etc. When used as a wall, these panels act as a column and will carry loads up to ten (10) times that of conventional frame construction.

Pound for pound ... HONEYCOMB is the strongest structural material know to man. Because of its extremely high strength-to weight ratio, HONEYCOMB has been used extensively in the aviation and aero-space industries. These weight savings and high strength advantages together with the low cost of paper honeycomb can be transmitted into a superior product at a cost savings for the building industry.
