AIREX®T90

Product Details


DESCRIPTION

AIREX® T90 is a closed-cell, thermoplastic and recyclable polymer foam with excellent fire, smoke & toxicity (FST) properties. It has very good mechanical properties and an extraordinary resistance to fatigue, is chemically stable and has negligible water absorption. It is thermally stable during high temperature processing and post curing. T90 is designed for easy use with all resin systems and processing technologies.
AIREX® T90 is the ideal core material for fire retardant sandwich applications.

CHARACTERISTICS:

Superior fire retardancy (FAR 25.853; EN 45545, EN 13501)
Outstanding fatigue strength
Excellent long term thermal stability up to 100 °C (212 °F)
Best thermal stability in process up to 150 °C (302 °F)
Good thermal insulation
Highly consistent material properties
Easy to process with all types of resin and lamination processes
Good adhesion (skin-to-core bond)
Very high chemical stability
No water absorption, no after-expansion, no outgassing

APPLICATIONS:

Aerospace: Interiors, galleys, meal trolleys, radomes
Automotive: Floors, sidewalls, front ends, interiors, roofs, engine covers
Marine: Decks, interiors, superstructures
 
Industrial: Covers, containers, x-ray tables, sporting goods
Building and Construction: Roofs, claddings, domes, portable building
 

Process:

Contact molding (hand/spray)
Vacuum infusion
Resin infusion / injection (VARTM / RTM)
Adhesive bonding
Pre-preg processing
Compression molding (GMT, SMC)
Thermoforming
