Lantor Textile Foam Cores
Our range of textile foam cores offers exceptional performance in terms of weight reduction, impact resistance, and thermal insulation. These cores are perfect for a variety of applications, including aerospace, wind energy, and sports equipment, where strength and lightweight properties are essential. Can be used in both open and closed moulding processes, providing a robust and flexible solution for composite manufacturers.
Lantor Textile Foam Core ranges
Coremat®
A cost-effective bulking mat for open moulding, Coremat® enhances stiffness and reduces weight using microsphere-filled polyester fleece. Ideal for hand lay-up and spray-up processes, with variants for print blocking and plywood replacement.
Soric®
A multifunctional foam core combining structural support and resin flow medium for infusion and RTM. Soric® offers pressure resistance, flexibility, and optimized resin usage across complex geometries.
Teccore®
Engineered for ultra-light carbon fiber microsandwiches, Teccore® improves surface quality and stiffness while minimizing fiber layers and resin. Suitable for infusion, RTM, and autoclave processes
Skincore®
A stitched, multi-layer surface enhancement system replacing traditional skin and barrier coats. Skincore® blocks print-through, resists osmosis, and improves impact resistance in vacuum infusion and RTM applications.
Lantor Surface Veils
Designed to enhance the surface quality of composite products, Lantor surface veils provide a superior aesthetic finish, improved UV resistance, and excellent chemical resistance. These veils are ideal for applications in the automotive, marine, and construction industries, where surface finish and durability are critical. They are suitable for both open moulding and closed moulding processes, offering versatility and adaptability to various manufacturing techniques.
Lantor Finishmat® Surface Veils
Finishmat®
Lantor Finishmat® is a versatile range of nonwoven surface veils designed to enhance composite surface quality and durability. Applied at the outer layer, Finishmat® improves chemical resistance, blocks osmosis, and prevents galvanic corrosion in carbon-metal interfaces. It supports defect-free processing across infusion, RTM, filament winding, and pultrusion techniques, with variants tailored for flexibility, tensile strength, and transparency in resin-rich layers.
Benefits of Lantor Surface Veils and Textile Foam Cores
ENHANCED AESTHETIC & FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES
Lantor surface veils are designed to provide a smooth and uniform surface finish, reducing the need for additional finishing processes. This not only saves time and cost but also enhances the overall appearance of the final product. Moreover, these veils offer excellent resistance to environmental factors such as UV radiation and chemical exposure, ensuring long-lasting performance.
LIGHTWEIGHTS & HIGH-PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS
Textile foam cores from Lantor are engineered to deliver superior performance while keeping weight to a minimum. This makes them ideal for applications where weight reduction is crucial, such as in the automotive and aerospace industries. Additionally, these foam cores provide excellent impact resistance and thermal insulation, enhancing the overall functionality of the composite structures.
