- Background
Weight savings of up to 80% compared to monolithic material possible; Major cost reduction; High bending stiffness; High compressive and shear strength; Energy absorbent; Resistant to moisture, acids and bases; Easy resource-friendly converting; The Organosandwich is a semi-finished panel that consists of two thin skin layers of fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (organosheet) spaced by a thermoplastic honeycomb core to provide high stiffness at minimal weight, without the need of incorporating additional stiffening ribs as often required for parts based on monolithic organosheet.; The Organosandwich is particularly cost efficient as it is made in a continuous process: the skin layers are applied in-line and welded to the honeycomb core as it is produced.; In further production steps, especially with regards to the automotive industry, the Organosandwich can be further processed into final parts and functionalized within very short cycle times. A typical conversion method is compression molding whereas the functionalization can be realized by integrated injection over-molding.; The Organosandwich is ideal for large series production of components for the automotive industry, where the performance, light-weighting and cost-efficiency need to meet together.
