The 3D|CORE™ XPS foam core is a high-performance polystyrene foam that is suitable for ultra-light construction applications. The integrated honeycomb structure creates more flexibility and simplifies handling in production. With the various 3D|CORE™ structures, the technical properties of the foam can be improved to a high-performance core with low weight!
Properties of 3D|CORE™ XPS:
- Available density: 45 kg/m³
- Closed cell foam core (no water absorption, no re-expansion, no outgassing)
- Durability - no rotting
- Very lightweight foam core
- Easy application with epoxy resin systems
- Homogeneous bonding of all components
- Excellent surface adhesion (bond between surface and core)
- Uniform material properties
- Good thermal insulation
- Integrated flow aid
- Low resin absorption
- Can be used with all known epoxy and PU resin systems (Not applicable with styrene)
Applications of 3D|CORE™ XPS in the architectural industry:
- housings
- panels
- design elements
- facades
- roofs
- coverings
Suitable processes:
- Hand lay-up
- Vacuum Infusion
- Vacuum Assisted Light-RTM
