Lantor Coremat®
The nonwoven core and liner for hand lay-up and spray-up processes |
|
Coremat is a polyester nonwoven that contains microspheres and is used as at thin core (bulker mat) or print blocker (liner) in fibre reinforced laminated, manufactured in Hand Lay-Up or Spray-Up processes. Coremat should always be fully impregnated with resin.The microspheares in Coremat prevent excessive resin up-take. The most important resons to use Coremat are:
- Weight saving
- Resin and glass saving
- Increase stiffness
- Fast thickness build-up
- Excellent surfase finish
|
|
Coremat Xi |
ccc |
Coremat Xi is the world standard for bulk mats. The Coremat resin consumption is about 600 grams per mm thickness. It contains a resin indicator which changes colour to show that resin has been applied to the Coremat.
Coremat Xi is very soft and pliable when it is wet and therefore very suitable for complex shapes.
Key properties Xi:
Resin indicator
Excellent impregnation
High drapeability in resin

|
Coremat XM |
|
Coremat XM has a low resin take up: 500 gram of reain per mm thicknerss. It is therefore suitable for weight critical application . The hexagonal cell pattern resuls in a very consistent thickness in the product. Coremat XM has very good wet tensile strength properties; it is therefor often used in application where mats are pre-wetted outside the mould. Generally customers choose XM, because of its smoothness. ease of working, and resin savings. Key properties XM:
- Honeycomb structure for
- excellent drapeability
- Extre resin saving
- High wet strength

Lantor Soric® Flexible Core
Core material and infusion medium in one
Soric is a polyester nonwoven material with a compression resistant hexagonal (XF, SF, LRC) or random dot-printed (TF) cell structure. These pressure-resistant cells, which are separated by channels, contain synthetic micro-spheres.
The cells do not absorb resin and therefore limit the total resin up-take. Since these cells are pressure resistant, they create thickness in the laminate even when pressure is applied by vacuum bag. The channels facilitate resin flow and form a pattern of cured resin with good mechanical properties and excellent bonding to the outer skins.
Because of these unique properties and characteristics, Soric can be used as:
- Thin core (bulker), adding stiffness, while reducing weight
- Inter-laminar resin flow medium, eliminating the need for other (disposable) flow media
- Print blocker (liner), that meets the most demanding cosmetic and finish requirements.
|
|
Soric SF |
|
|
|
|
Soric SF is the general purpose grade, balancing resin flow and surface quality. Soric SF is therefore especially suitable for thinner laminates.
|
|
|
Soric XF |
|
|
|
|
Soric XF maximises weight reduction in structural core applications. Soric XF offers the fastest resin flow for the lowest resin consumption, and is therefore ideal for thicker laminates.
Soric TF
|
|
|
Soric TF |
|
|
|
|
Soric TF is the ideal product for the most demanding cosmetic and surface finish requirements. Soric TF can be used as a core, but is most often used as a print blocker in infused laminates.
|
|
|
Soric LRC |
|
|
|
|
Soric LRC is the latest grade in the Soric product line. Soric LRC has a resin uptake of about 350 g/m2/mm.
Soric LRC is now commercially available in thicknesses of 1.5 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm.
You will find our new products Lancore and FR-Soric under Products & Processes.
