Cold and hot formable foam core material for composites
60 kg/m3 | AIREX® C51
Airex AG
A closed-cell, polymer foam designed to meet the demanding requirements of high-volume industrial sandwich part production. The foam has a high elongation at break and shows good impact and fatigue properties. It can be formed at room temperature to simple shapes as well as thermoformed to complex 3- dimensional parts. The elevated temperature resistance allows short processing cycles with fast curing resin systems, including thermoplastic fibre reinforced skins (GMT) making it very suitable for mass-produced light-weight sandwich structures subjected to both static and dynamic loads in service.
Characteristics
* High impact resistance (non-brittle failure mode)
* Elevated short-period temperature resistance
* Cold and hot formable to 3-dimensional contours
* Good fatigue resistance
* Superior bond strength
* Low resin absorption
* Good sound and thermal insulation
