Foam core material for composites Gurit
Corecell™

Corecell™ is the leading structural foam core material, which has become widely accepted for the construction of large, high performance structures. It is the latest in foam core technology and although originally developed for the marine industry, it is now used in other applications such as wind turbines and sub sea vessels.

Corecell™ uses SAN polymer base, resulting in unique high tougness and impact resistance characteristics. The foam acts as a 'shock absorber' between the two skins - absorbing the impact without failing, distributing the stresses evenly within the core and, in the case of a boat, ensures it remains watertight even after high point impacts.

Corecell™ foams provide low weight, excellent stiffness, and structural integrity under dynamic loads. They have high shear elongation and retain their mechanical properties even in the higher ambient temperature range.

Corecell™ foams are compatible with polyester, vinylester, and epoxy resins. Corecell™ is type approved by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Lloyds Register of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and Germanischer Lloyd (GL).

The Corecell™ product range provides increased levels of performance, strength, structural integrity and comfort, unmatched by any other core material. Suitable for a wide range of demanding structural applications and different composite manufacturing processes.
