XTX PETCORE™ is a closed cell foam with very good mechanical properties. PETCORE™ comes with improved properties in the XYZ directions, allowing for better structural designs. PET is a fully recyclable thermoplastic, compatible with Vacuum Infusion, Hand Layup/Spray, Prepreg, Adhesive Bonding, Thermoforming and other processing methods because it is thermally stable - during high temperature processing, there is no outgassing or expansion after post-cure. It is thermocuttable (via hotwire or laser) a fact that permits development of novel surfaces. It is also thermoformable, and thus can be preformed to specified shapes and dimensions without the need for scoring or segmentation. Information provided by XTX Composites, Inc. |
