Keeping it light
Sandwich technology is an excellent way to reduce weight and thanks to its outstanding mechanical properties and low density, ROHACELL® HERO sandwich cores offer the most weight saving potential of all structural foams.
Exceptional durability
This grade offers superior elongation at break, making it ideal for applications requiring long-term durability and resistance to mechanical stresses.
Applications
ROHACELL® HERO is particularly suited for lightweight, durable composite structures such as aircraft wings, stabilizers, and radomes.
