QUARTZ HONEYCOMB
The Quartz Honeycomb core has a unique feature of low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE). Below are comparisons of CTE in the thickness direction of various honeycomb cores.
Ultracor can make Quartz honeycomb in other configurations per our customer’s requirements.

ULTRACOR PRODUCT DESIGNATIONS
Ultracor products are designated by use of a series of letters and numbers, as follows:
UCF-304-3/8-2.0, in which:
“U” represents Ultracor Honeycomb
“CF” indicates that the material used is Carbon Fiber
“304” determines the product code number under which the details of construction are documented.
“3/8” indicates a 3/8” cell size.
“2.0” indicates a nominal density in pounds per cubic foot. (lbs/ft³)
