AIREX°®T92
Product Details
DESCRIPTION
AIREX® T92 is a closed-cell, thermoplastic and recyclable polymer foam with recycled content, very good mechanical properties, and an outstanding price / performance ratio. It has an extraordinary resistance to fatigue, is chemically stable and has negligible water absorption. It is thermally stable during high temperature processing and post curing without after expansion or outgassing. T92 is designed for easy use with all resin systems and processing technologies.
AIREX® T92 is ideally suited as a core material for a wide variety of lightweight sandwich structures subjected to static and dynamic loads and/or exposed to elevated temperatures during manufacturing.
CHARACTERISTICS:
Easy to process with all types of resin and lamination processes
High process temperature up to 150 °C (302 °F)
Outstanding fatigue strength
Best-in-class resin uptake with AIREX® SealX1)
Very high chemical stability
Good adhesion (skin-to-core bond)
Excellent long term thermal stability up to 100 °C (212 °F)
No water absorption, after expansion nor out-gassing
Recyclable and recycled material (up to 100 % recycled PET)
Highly consistent material properties independent from variance in color
Comprehensive material traceability (machine-readable batch information on each foam sheet)
