Would Lantor coremat be suitable as reinforcement in a mold made with unimold?
The mold will be heat treated and when used for molding the parts will be cured under heat, in mold.

also, would Lantor coremat be suitable as sandwich material in a carbon part made for a high temp application?

Coremat will be fine upto a max of 100C when used in mould making to add thickness while saving using fibreglass.

I certainly would NOT recommend coremat in ANY carbon part as it is a very low performance core that soaks up a lot of resin.  Better core materials are not that much more expensive and include Closed Cell Foam Core and  2mm Lantor Soric.

THX Warren

I used it yesterday laying up the final layers on the molds, worked ok but a bit unusual to remove the air under the CSM.

Ok, I did a compression molded laminate with 1,4 coremat with 2 layers of 200g 2x2 on each side and got a very strong and light sandwich,
buy I will follow your advise and go for foam, I have lots of bonocell and diviny cell.
