What is Corecell foam?

Gurit® Corecell™ M is a structural foam core material using a SAN polymer base featuring high toughness and impact resistant characteristics. It offers very reliable processing without outgassing for high quality parts.

What type of foam is Divinycell?

semi-rigid PVC foam
Divinycell is a semi-rigid PVC foam used as a sandwich core material when strength, stiffness and low weight is desired. It has excellent insulating properties and a closed-cell structure that makes it impervious to water.

What is Airex foam?

AIREX® C70 is a closed cell, cross-linked polymer foam that combines excellent stiffness and strength to weight ratios with superior toughness.It is non-friable, contains no CFC’s, has negligible water absorption, and provides an excellent resistance to chemicals.

What is foam core PVC?

PVC foam core pipe is manufactured in three layers. The top and bottom layer are solid PVC compound, which is identical to the material in solid PVC pipes. Rather than forming a single pipe, a skin is made for the exterior and interior surfaces of the pipe. PVC foam core pipe is not porous, as a result of these skins.

What is Divinycell H80?

Divinycell H80 is a lightweight structural core for boats, reefers, doors, containers when higher physicals than H45 are required. Plain Divinycell sheets are not contourable, and are excellent for decks and boat hulls. Product is sold by the individual 4′ x 8′ sheet.

Is Divinycell a PVC?

What is Airex foam made of?

Description. The product name AIREX® is composed of AIR and EX for expansion. Air bubbles, which are characteristic for this material, form during the manufacturing process and increase the volume many times over – while the weight remains constant. Specifically, our AIREX® foam products are composed of 50-96% air.

What is Airex pad made of?

The AIREX® Balance Pad is an active therapy and training tool made of the famously soft AIREX® foam material. The Balance Pad, with its smooth surface, is perfect for barefoot balance training beginners.

Is foam core PVC strong?

The foam core slightly alters some of the properties of the PVC foam core pipe in comparison to solid PVC pipe. The foam core pipe is less rigid, which means it lasts up to 10 years longer than solid pipe before it needs to be replaced. The core insulates sound, which can dampen unwanted noise within a building.

Can foam core PVC be buried?

Foam core is meant to be buried. It’s not going to collapse but it isn’t pressure rated. What it won’t do is crack as easily when buried. It’s made for drain waste and vent situations in place of ABS.

What is Divinycell made of?

Divinycell F is a polyethersulfone-based (PESU), recyclable foamed core material, made from BASF’s Ultrason E thermoplastic resin. It combines light weight characteristics with excellent mechanical properties.

Where are Airex pads made?

Switzerland
Manufactured in Switzerland, these products, including Airex rehab, exercise and yoga mats, are considered to be the highest quality products available. Made from a closed-cell, PVC foam, Airex is the only branded exercise mat available throughout the world.

How do you clean an Airex pad?

What is the difference between foam core and PVC?

Compared with Traditional PVC Pipe The main difference between PVC foam core pipe and solid PVC pipe is cost. PVC foam core pipe is significantly cheaper for the same length of pipe. The actual materials used to make foam core pipe are slightly more expensive per pound, but PVC foam core pipe is lighter.

What’s the difference between foam core PVC and regular PVC?

Is Schedule 40 PVC rated for underground?

Schedule 40 rigid PVC conduit, elbows, that are specifically marked for underground use are suitable for use underground only by direct burial or encasement in concrete. The UL listing says both 80 and 40 can be used in both above and underground installations.

What is Divinycell used for?

Divinycell H is ideal for applications subject to fatigue, slamming or impact loads. Other key features of Divinycell H include consistent high quality, excellent adhesion/peel strength, excellent chemical resistance, low water absorption and good thermal/acoustic insulation.

Why foam factory’s open-cell density guide?

Because of this, we at Foam Factory wanted to present a guide to help you better understand the range of density values as they apply to conventional open-cell foam, making it much easier for you to make decisions based off your own understanding.

Why Gurit Corecell™ m foam?

The team chose Gurit Corecell™ M foam for the manufacture of the rudder and daggerboard components to achieve the manufacturing and operating performance required for submerged components.

What is the best Corecell for my application?
