A lightweight, closed-cell foam with a high temperature resistance.
Very high ratios of stiffness and strength to weight, excellent volume
stability. The foam is suitable for statically and dynamically loaded
lightweight sandwich constructions which are exposed to raised temperatures
during manufacturing or in service.
Applications :
- Marine:
decks, hulls and superstructures, engine rooms
- Road and Rail:
structural sandwich panels, interiors, floors, partition walls, etc.
- Industrial Parts:
windmill-blades, containers, covers
Characteristics :
- high strength to weight ratios
- high stiffness and strength at elevated temperatures
- rot resistant
- good thermal insulation
- self-extinguishing, good fire behaviour
- good styrene compatibility
Processing
- prepreg processing (up to 140 °C)
- hand lay-up
- fibre spraying
- resin injection
- adhesive bonding
