3A Composites Core Materials AIREX® T92.130 Easy Processing Structural Foam

AIREX® T92 is a closed-cell, thermoplastic and recyclable polymer foam with very good mechanical properties and price / performance ratio. It has a good resistance to fatigue, is chemically stable, UV resistant and has negligible water absorption. It is thermally stable during high temperature processing and post curing without after expansion or out-gassing. 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.CharacteristicsEasy to process with all types of resin and lamination processesHigh process temperature up to 150°C (302°F)Excellent fatigue strengthHigh compression and shear propertiesVery low variance of mechanical propertiesExcellent chemical stabilityGood adhesion (skin-to-core bond)Excellent long term thermal stability up to 100°C (212°F)No water absorptionNo after expansion, no out-gassingApplicationsWind energy: Blades (shear webs & shells), nacellesMarine: Hulls, decks, superstructures, bulkheads, transoms, interiors stringersIndustrial: Cover, containers, local reinforcements, x-ray tables, sporting goods
