PC honeycomb core is an ideal sandwich core material for industrial UAV and eVTOL outer shells. Made of polycarbonate, this hexagonal honeycomb delivers lightweight high stiffness, crash energy absorption, wide temperature tolerance from -40℃ to 120℃, good dielectric property and UL94 V0 flame resistance. It supports thermoforming for complex curved drone housings, suitable for drone body, battery enclosure, radome and gimbal base. Custom specifications available for B2B composite manufacturers.
This article explains how RCEP tariff treatment may apply to industrial honeycomb panels and composite materials in 2026. It focuses on HS codes, rules of origin, importing member schedules, certificates of origin, customs clearance and long-term supply chain planning. It advises Asia-Pacific B2B buyers to verify eligibility with official sources and customs advisers.
This article reviews recent international PP honeycomb core developments, including recycled PP under EU ELV rules, surface treatment for biofilm carriers, honeycomb structure potential in microplastics removal and VOCs treatment, market growth, and practical selection advice.
Red Sea shipping risks are pushing up surcharges for oversized industrial plates and heavy machinery on Asia-Europe routes. For B2B buyers, freight base rates are no longer enough for TCO calculation. Surcharges, port delay risk, and schedule uncertainty must be built into procurement budgets. This article explains why large and heavy cargo is being hit hardest, how to add surcharge and demurrage risk into TCO, and why splitting orders and using multi-port batch shipments are becoming practical tools for industrial buyers.
The EU has notified new end-of-waste rules that unify certification for recycled PP, PE and PET. Each batch of recycled plastic must come with an electronic declaration of conformity, and non-EU suppliers must pass third-party system audits. Exporters of recycled sheets, modified plastics and recycled composites should prepare batch traceability and compliance documentation now to avoid port detentions and lost orders.
France, Germany, and Italy plan to jointly push the EU to launch a safeguard investigation into chemical and plastic products such as PET, epoxy resin, and glass fiber. If implemented, the EU will set import quotas and impose additional tariffs on above-quota products, affecting downstream industries including wind power, automotive, building materials, and composites. Exporters should lock in shipment windows in advance and assess rules of origin and alternative supply options.
