EXPANSION IN THE HORSEBOX SECTOR

Coratec has a solid customer base in the horsebox sector. In recent months, Coratec has been able to acquire further customers.

Corapan® AL 85 is often used in vehicle construction when stability and beautiful surfaces are important. In horseboxes, both the aesthetics and the strength of the superstructure are particularly important due to the load of the horses.

The outstanding properties of Corapan® AL 85 are a result of the unique manufacturing process. The self-produced core material is mixed, compacted between the face sheets and cured. The core is cured and bonded to the face layer in one step. This process results in the following advantages for the customer:

• Perfect surfaces:
  Because the core is made of one piece, unlike other products, the butts of the cores do not stand out on the surface. Perfect surfaces are created.

• No delamination and bubble formation:
  The core material is heavily compacted before curing. This ensures that a perfectly flat bond is created between the core and the cover layers. Detachment or bubble formation is thus virtually impossible, even at high temperatures.

• High stability:
  The high tensile strength of the aluminium face sheets, the stable core and the optimal bonding between the core and face sheets result in sandwich panels with high strength and bending stiffness.

• Inserts according to customer requirements:
  Because of the manufacturing process, inserts for fastenings etc. can be easily inserted.
