    Magnesiacore looking to connect with boat/ship builders

    Hi,

    I have a new material that I believe may be well suited for boat and ship building in place of plywoods. Looking for discussion and input on the possibility in Marine Construction applications.

    Our website is www.magnesiacore.com.

    My email is tony@magnesiacore.com

    An important feature of magnesiacore material is that when properly sealed against becoming waterlogged it will float in water.

    mechanical test

    Do you have mechanical test?
    to evaluate this core i need a sheet with
    density available
    and for each density
    compressive strenght
    compressive modulus
    tensile strenght
    tensile modulus
    shear strenght
    shear modulus

    SailDesign Old Phart! Stay upwind..

    I'm confused here. At 980 kg/cu.m, it is only just lighter than water, yet is being touted as a better core than plywood, which is far lighter. Currently in the sailing boat world we use cores that run 80 to 200 kg/cu.m, with the heavier one being what we stick under large winches. Where would you want something almost as heavy as FRP but with less strength?
