Description:
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, UVresistant
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.
