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, UV-resistant and has
negligible water absorption.
It is thermally stable during high
temperature processing and post
curing without after expansion or outgassing.
T90 is designed for easy
use with all resin systems and
processing technologies.
AIREX® T90 is the ideal core material
for structural sandwich applications
requiring high fire resistance.
