Foam for composites core material AIREX® T90

fire-resistantsheet

- fulfills high FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) requirements - thermally stable with no outgassing - very high chemical resistance - no water absorbtion and no after-expansion Properties Superior fire retardancy (EN 45545, FAR 25.853, EN 13501 ) Outstanding fatigue strength Excellent long-term thermal stability, up to 100 °C Best thermal stability in process, up to 150 °C Good thermal insulation High consistent material properties and chemical stability Good adhesion (skin-to-core bond) No water absorption, no after-expansion, no outgassing Applications Marine: Decks, interior fittings, superstructures Automotive: Floor plates, sidewalls, interior fittings, roofs, motor covers Industry: Covers, containers, x-ray tables, sports Building and Construction: Roofs, cover panels, domed roofs, portable structures Aerospace: Interiors, galleys, meal trolleys, radomes Processing Contact molding (hand lamination / spray lay-up) Vacuum infusion Resin infusion / injection (VARTM / RTM) Adhesive bonding Prepreg processing Compression molding (GMT, SMC) Thermoformable AIREX® T90 is a closed-cell, thermoplastic and recyclable, structural PET rigid foam with excellent fire, smoke, and toxicity (FST) properties. It is suitable for lamination with all types of resins and processes; it is easy to thermoform and process mechanically. It also offers great chemical resistance, is resistant against UV rays, and does not absorb water. Curing and post curing at increased temperatures is unproblematic as it is very heat-resistant and does not post expand or outgas.
