Balsa

BALTEK® SB is a core material produced from select kiln dried balsa wood and configured in the end grain configuration. It is extremely strong and rigid for its weight, and bonds well with all types of resins and adhesives. Balsa is compatible with a wide variety of manufacturing processes and resins that are resistant to temperature variations, fire exposure, chemicals and styrene.
