AIREX® T92 is a closed-cell, thermoplastic and recyclable polymer foam with very good mechanical properties and price / performance ratio. It has a good 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 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.Characteristics- Easy to process with all types of resin and lamination processes
