Description | CRS 1.2 mm | S-Beam 2 mm Core + 2 X 0,25 mm CRS |
Behavior to stamping | Good | Very good (before curing) |
Flexion resistance | 38,24 N Flow limit achieved all over the extension of the specimen |
44,42 N (after curing) S-Beam only failed over the center of force application, remainder of specimen, preserved dimensional integrity. |
Weight (kg/m²) | 9,448 | 4,786 |
Recyclability | Yes | Yes |
Anti corrosion treatment | Phosphate and ECoat | Phosphate and E-Coat Inner side of metallic skins are protected by epoxy |
Weldability | Yes | No S-beam is recommended for doors, hoods, deck-lids and other applications that use structural adhesives for assembly. |
Acoustic and thermal conductivity | High | Low |
S-Beam is the latest technology developed by Cipatex to improve efficiency for a sustainable mobility. | |
S-Beam (S- means Sheet) is an easy to stamp metallic sandwich,composed by a heat curable core(B) skinned with metal sheets (A). | ![]() |
S-Beam provides same stiffness and resistance to flexion than standard metal sheet, with half a weight. Made in aluminum or steel, S-Beam is bondable, recyclable and fully compatible with same traditional OEMs process, materials and layouts.![]() |
