AIREX C70 UNIVERSAL STRUCTURAL FOAM

Description A unique closed cell, cross-linked polymer foam that combines high stiffness and strength to weight ratios with superior toughness. It is non-friable, contains no CFCs, has negligible water absorption, and provides an excellent resistance to chemicals. A fine cell structure offers an excellent bonding surface that is compatible with most resins and manufacturing processes. It is ideally suited as a core material for a wide variety of light-weight sandwich structures subjected to both static and dynamic loads in service. Marine Hulls, decks, bulkheads, superstructures, interiors Road and Rail Roof panels, interiors, floors, doors, partition walls, side skirts Wind Energy Rotor blades, nacelles, turbine generator housings Air General aviation (sport aircraft) parts, galley carts Recreation Surfboards, snowboards, wakeboards Industrial Tooling, tanks, ductwork, containers, covers high strength and stiffness to weight ratios good impact strength low resin absorption high fatigue resistance good fire performance (self-extinguishing) sound and thermal insulation non biodegradable good styrene resistance contact molding (hand/spray) vacuum infusion resin injection (RTM) adhesive bonding pre-preg processing thermoforming
