Hammerhead™ Composite Panels are made from continuous glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic face sheets and polyester foam cores. Honeycomb panels are made from polypropylene, making it easier to avoid compromising the core during thermal lamination.

When PolyCase Ammunition was getting ready to produce its new line of high performance ammunition, the project team knew they needed a material that would be easily enable them to produce their patent-pending, injection molded projectile designs that function as well or better than conventional lead-core projectiles.  And the projectiles still needed to provide the accuracy and trouble free operation of conventional lead-core ammunition. Equally important, end users experience significantly reduced exposure and cleanup costs associated with using lead-core bullets in indoor and outdoor range facilities when hunting and shooting.

The multi-material composition allows the design engineer to select skins and cores that are best suited for the application.   The performance of these fiber reinforced composite panels can be optimized by adapting panel thickness, core density, and skin configuration to achieve desired properties.
