Lightweight Sandwich Panel Solution

The DuFlex lightweight composite panel solution is a composite panel system that minimizes weight and maximizes mechanical properties. The panels are made of rigid balsa end grain wood or structural and non-structural foam, and laminated with a high performance epoxy resin reinforced with a multiaxial fiberglass or carbon fiber film.
