AIREX®T10

Product Details


DESCRIPTION

AIREX® T10 is a closed-cell, thermoplastic and recyclable polymer foam with a very homogeneous cell structure, high 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. T10 is designed for easy use with all resin systems and processing technologies.
AIREX® T10 is ideally suited for high volume applications of lightweight sandwich structures subjected to static and dynamic loads and/or exposed to elevated temperatures during manufacturing.

CHARACTERISTICS:

▪ Very high compression and shear properties
▪ Outstanding fatigue strength
▪ Homogeneous cell structure
▪ Easy to process with all types of resin and lamination processes
▪ High process temperature up to 150 °C (short peaks up to 180 °C)
▪ Good adhesion (skin-to-core bond)
▪ Excellent long term thermal stability, up to 100 °C (212 °F)
▪ No water absorption
▪ Recyclable and recycled material
▪ Highly consistent material properties
▪ Comprehensive material traceability (machine-readable batch information on each foam sheet)

APPLICATIONS:

Road: Structural and semi-structural parts in interior and exterior of cars Sidewalls, floors, skirts/covers of trucks
Wind energy: Blades (shear webs & shells), nacelles
Marine: Hulls, decks, superstructures, bulkheads, stringers, interiors
   
Industrial: Covers, containers, X-ray tables, sporting goods
   

PROCESSING:

▪ Contact molding (hand/spray)
▪ Vacuum infusion (VARTM)
