  • Publication number: 20250242564
    Abstract: A sandwich component includes a core having two opposite flat sides and at least one first cover layer connected to the core, mechanically stabilizing the sandwich component and containing at least one fiber component containing fibers. At least one of the flat sides is coated with the first cover layer such that only a coating region of this side is covered by the first cover layer, so that an uncoated free region of this flat side remains, and this flat side is not coated with any further layers so that the core is accessible from an environment in the free region on this flat side. A method for producing a sandwich component includes providing the core, and coating at least one of the flat sides with the first cover layer such that the core remains accessible from the environment in the free region on this flat side.
