Machining and Processing.
Sawing.
COMPACFOAM can be easily cut with circular saws providing the saw blade has large tooth spacing as shown below.
Planing.
COMPACFOAM can be planed with precision to tolerances of $0.3 mm. This accuracy makes it ideal for sandwich panels in furniture and yacht construction, where high-quality surfaces and exact dimensional stability are required.
Profiling.
COMPACFOAM can be easily profiled using standard wood milling machines or four-sided planers. The material is minimally abrasive, allowing the use of cost-effective wood cutters or blanks in high speed steel (HSS).
Coating.
COMPACFOAM can be coated in a variety of ways, such as with PVC, HPL, kraft paper, MDF, laminate, veneers, and resins. These options expand our application areas and usage possibilities.
CNC machining.
3D milling is performed with the highest precision on modern CNC machines. Economic production is ensured by our state-of-the-art machinery.
Sanding.
COMPACFOAM can be sanded with precision to tolerances of £0.1 mm. This level of accuracy makes it ideal for sandwich panels in furniture and yacht construction, Providing a high quality finish to very tight tolerances.
Mechanical fixings.
COMPACFOAM can be easily screwed without pre-drilling. We recommend using wood screws or window frame screws for secure and stable fastening.
Laminated board edging.
Laminated board edging strips can be applied directly to the Compacoam core using standard methods and tools.
