The Gill Corp. (TGC, El Monte, Calif., U.S.) announces the new fiberglass honeycomb core, which, developed in response to industry demand from aerospace customers, meets all AMS 3715 requirements. The core is produced with a substrate consisting of woven fiberglass cloth reinforced with heat-resistant phenolic resin for improved moisture resistance over traditional aramid fiber substrates. TGC says it is suitable for high-temperature applications requiring a high degree of forming and high moisture areas.
TGC processes rolls of fiberglass cloth through the same manufacturing equipment as aramid honeycomb cores. In addition to completing its own AMS 3715 test requirements, the company is working with other customers to meet their own qualifications.
Testing performed includes:
- Plate shear strength and modulus, ribbon and transverse.
- Stabilized compression strength and modulus.
- Flatwise tension.
- 65F, RTA, 180F, 250F, 350F
- Wet – RTA, 180F, 250F, 350F.
