My supplier has something called kevlar honeycomb, as far as I know it is made out of kevlar paper(?) pre-impregnated with phenol resin. It is realyyyy expensive 70euro exl.vat for 2mm x 2550mmx1250mm and 48kg/m^2, he claims that it is the lightest sandwich in the world. I don't have money to buy it, but when I have some $ I will make some reviev of that, this is how it looks like :
Here are some more info but unfortunatly in polish, but I quess it is not hard to understand things like dimensions or price

Do you know anything about it? How strong is it? Is it hard to work with? Is it worth buying?
Thanks for your time
