AIREX® R82 is a closed-cell, thermoplastic polymer foam that combines fire resistance with low smoke and toxicity, along with good dielectric properties. It has a good strength to weight ratio, very low moisture absorption, is thermoformable and ductile. AIREX® R82 is a core material for use in structural lightweight applications that demand high fire resistance, radar transparency or operation in extremely hot or cold environments.Characteristics- Fulfils most stringent fire requirements
- Operating temperature from -194°C to +160°C (-317° F to +320 °F)
- Remains ductile at cryogenic temperatures
- Excellent dielectric properties (radar transparent outstanding)
- Very low moisture absorption
- Good fatigue resistance
- High impact resistance (non-brittle failure mode)
- Thermoformable
- Good sound and thermal insulation
Applications- Aircraft and Aerospace: Interiors, cockpit doors, cryogenic tanks, insulating panels, radomes, helicopter rotor blades, general aviation (fuselage and wing)
- Road and Rail: Front-ends, side skirts, roof panels, interiors
- Marine: Fast-ferries, fire resistant interiors, radomes
- Defense: Naval superstructures, antennas, combat communication systems
- Industrial: High-temperature tooling, radomes, x-ray tables
