Hexaben® is a beautiful design composite sheet from Bencore®. The composite sheet consists of a hexagonal aluminium core (large or small) glued between two top layers. You can choose between acrylic or PETG top layers, depending on your application. For a better fire classification or food grade certification we recommend to use Hexaben® design sheets with covering sheets made of PETG. For more colour variations or a satin surface, you can choose for acrylic top layers. Hexaben® with a satin surface is beautiful in combination with light.
This material can be ordered per full sheet via our sales department. The sheet size of Hexaben® is 3015mmx 1000mm and is available in a 21mm thickness. The surface of this material is gloss. You cannot order this material online via our web shop. If you are interested, you can get into contact with our sales department via sales@pyrasied.nl.
Hexaben® is excellent to be used as partition walls, wall presentations, lighting fixtures, bar- and counter fronts, stair panels, balustrades, doors, walls and ceilings. This sheet is more rigid and impact resistant. The sheets are not suitable for outdoor applications.
