Lantor Coremat แลนทอร์ คอร์แมท The nonwoven core and liner for hand lay-up and spray-up processes
Coremat is a polyester nonwoven that contains microspheres and is used as at thin core (bulker mat) or print blocker (liner) in fibre reinforced laminated, manufactured in Hand Lay-Up or Spray-Up processes. Coremat should always be fully impregnated with resin.The microspheares in Coremat prevent excessive resin up-take. The most important resons to use Coremat are:
Weight saving
Resin and glass saving
Increase stiffness
Fast thickness build-up
Excellent surfase finish
Coremat Xi
ccc
Coremat Xi is the world standard for bulk mats. The Coremat resin consumption is about 600 grams per mm thickness. It contains a resin indicator which changes colour to show that resin has been applied to the Coremat.
Coremat Xi is very soft and pliable when it is wet and therefore very suitable for complex shapes.
Coremat XM has a low resin take up: 500 gram of reain per mm thicknerss. It is therefore suitable for weight critical application . The hexagonal cell pattern resuls in a very consistent thickness in the product. Coremat XM has very good wet tensile strength properties; it is therefor often used in application where mats are pre-wetted outside the mould. Generally customers choose XM, because of its smoothness. ease of working, and resin savings. Key properties XM:
Use Coremat XM 10 replace plywood of regid materials like foam or plastic cores. Coremat has good secrew retention and does not have rot issues, unlike wood.

Lantor Soric® Flexible Core
Core material and infusion medium in one
Soric is a polyester nonwoven material with a compression resistant hexagonal (XF, SF, LRC) or random dot-printed (TF) cell structure. These pressure-resistant cells, which are separated by channels, contain synthetic micro-spheres. The cells do not absorb resin and therefore limit the total resin up-take. Since these cells are pressure resistant, they create thickness in the laminate even when pressure is applied by vacuum bag. The channels facilitate resin flow and form a pattern of cured resin with good mechanical properties and excellent bonding to the outer skins.
Because of these unique properties and characteristics, Soric can be used as:
Thin core (bulker), adding stiffness, while reducing weight
Inter-laminar resin flow medium, eliminating the need for other (disposable) flow media
Print blocker (liner), that meets the most demanding cosmetic and finish requirements.
Soric XF maximises weight reduction in structural core applications. Soric XF offers the fastest resin flow for the lowest resin consumption, and is therefore ideal for thicker laminates. Soric TF
Soric TF is the ideal product for the most demanding cosmetic and surface finish requirements. Soric TF can be used as a core, but is most often used as a print blocker in infused laminates.
Soric LRC is the latest grade in the Soric product line. Soric LRC has a resin uptake of about 350 g/m2/mm. Soric LRC is now commercially available in thicknesses of 1.5 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm. You will find our new products Lancore and FR-Soric under Products & Processes.
Lantor core materials can be applied to all composite parts, including Cruise/ferry ships - interior panelling, floor, ceiling, seating, doors, decks, hulls, hatch covers, steering consoles, shower cabinets and chairs. Lantor Coremat® is used as a core material in decks and hulls or as a print barrier in hull sides. Lantor Soric® is used in closed mould processes as a flexible core, interlaminar infusion medium and print barrier.
Typical key benefits from using Coremat or Soric: - Saves labor - Saves weight - Excellent print blocker - Saves resin and glass - Soric as an interlaminar infusion medium
Lantor Finishmat® D7760 is used in closed mould processes to prevent print through effect and provide the laminate with a class-A finish. For additional information on print through blocking and osmosis prevention with Lantor Soric TF and Lantor Finishmat D7760

Lantor Soric in Superbus project Lantor Soric will be used as core material in the dutch Superbus project. Lantor Soric suits perfect in this light weight full composite application.A new type of public transport is being developed in the Netherlands by the TU Delft which relies on lightweight composite construction and will be demonstrated at the Beijing Olympics in August 2008. In the search for a non-polluting, fast, economic and appealing new means of public transportation, a project has started in the Netherlands for the realisation of an electric vehicle called Superbus.
