Corex Honeycomb

BCP and Corex Honeycomb Supporting Innovation in the Rail Sector

BCP has been designing and manufacturing aluminium honeycomb composite panels for more than 30 years and has a reputation for working with customers to solve their engineering problems.

Composite panels and structures offer a lightweight and durable alternative to conventional materials, such as plywood and metal fabrications, when used for external and internal train components. They can be used for a variety of applications including galleys, universal access toilet (UAT) modules, housing atlas-style aisle carts and meal containers, luggage racks, table-tops, baby changing tables, doors, gangway panels, cabin dividers, floor and ceiling panels.

The panels are made of aluminium honeycomb core sandwiched in between two aluminium alloy skins. The layers of the panel are bonded together with an extremely strong engineering adhesive and pressed together until the adhesive cures. The lightweight aluminium core keeps the two skins in position, resists shear forces, and provides insulation as well as removing weight, while the two skins provide durability, weather and impact resistance, and resist in-plane forces of tension and compression. The result is a complete aluminium composite panel.
