AIREX® T92.320

AIREX® T92 is a closed-cell, thermoplastic and recyclable polymer foam with 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 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
