Lantor Soric® XF is a nonwoven core material featuring a unique hexagonal cell structure, specifically designed for closed-mould composite manufacturing processes such as resin infusion, Light RTM, and conventional RTM. It is used in the production of lightweight sandwich laminates with thermosetting resin systems, including polyester, vinyl ester, urethane-acrylate, and epoxy resins.
Soric® XF withstands the vacuum and injection pressures encountered during these manufacturing processes while providing excellent resin flow characteristics and laminate consolidation.
