WebCore Technologies LLC has introduced TYCOR W5, which, the company says, was developed to meet special design needs for current and future blade projects and is suited to the needs of longer, heavier blades.
TYCOR W5 offers high transverse shear strength for local areas of high stress. The new product also provides high, balanced transverse shear stiffness suited for thin, highly loaded shear webs and shells, according to the company.
TYCOR W5 can be specified as an alternative to balsa because the composite core's balanced shear modulus allows for a direct comparison with and substitution of the wood product while offering blade manufacturers improved quality, consistent infused density, reduced resin absorption and better dimensional stability, according to the company.
