ZPlex™ Conformable Total Sandwich System 1 The slender foam cores are woven right into the fabric. Z-fibers fully integrate them with the face skins. 2 The 100s of slender flexible foam cores move freely like the yarns, providing a deeply conformable structure. 3 The Z columns become rigid once cured, both tying and bracing the skins, carrying the loads, instead of the foam. Applications Curved parts difficult to make with balsa or rigid foams Lightly loaded parts like car hoods, ducts, engine covers, doors Double walled structures where internal passages are useful Where blind fastening of electronics, hinges, or lighting is valued
