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)

APPLICATIONS:

Renewable energy: Blades (shear webs & shells), nacelles
Marine: Decks, hull sides, superstructures, bulkheads, transoms, interiors
Industrial: Covers, containers, local reinforcements, x-ray tables, sporting goods
   
Automotive: Truck body parts, floors
   

PROCESSING2):

 Contact molding (hand/spray)
 Vacuum infusion
 Resin infusion / injection (VARTM / RTM)
 Adhesive bonding
 Pre-preg processing
 Compression molding (GMT, SMC)
 Thermoforming
1) AIREX® SealX is a controlled surface treatment for minimum resin consumption
2) for details, please refer to AIREX® Processing Guidelines
