Balsa Core
Balsa Core is the strongest of the lightweight core materials used in marine construction. Sandwiching Balsa Core between fiberglass laminations creates an extremely stiff, high-strength composite with low additional weight. Balsa Core's end-grain, micro-honeycomb structure offers exceptional strength and stiffness. It provides a high strength-to-weight ratio. Balsa Core is scored and backed with a fiber scrim. The grid scoring allows the core to readily conform to the contours of molds and curved surfaces without buildup of internal stresses in the laminate.
