Divinycell P is a recyclable, thermoplastic sandwich core material that is typified by excellent FST (fire, smoke and toxicity) properties, high temperature performance, very good fatigue properties, good mechanical characteristics and chemical resistance. It also offers excellent acoustic/thermal insulation properties and low water absorption. Divinycell P is particularly ideal for public transportation, industrial and wind energy applications. The energy efficiency of a Divinycell P sandwich makes it ideal for transport applications such as interior paneling, floors and exterior panels for trains, trams, buses and coaches. In the wind energy market, the excellent properties and good processing characteristics means it can be used in both blades and nacelles. In the industrial/construction market, the good mechanical and FST properties of Divinycell P allow it to be used for a wide variety of applications such as domes, architectural claddings and industrial housings. Divinycell P is compatible with most commonly used resin systems (polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy and phenolics) including those with high styrene contents. With its high residual strength and good dimensional stability at elevated processing temperatures, it can be readily used with a wide variety of 'industrial' medium temperature prepreg systems. Due to its closed cell structure, Divinycell P can be readily used with vacuum infusion process. It can also be easily thermoformed and used in pultrusion molding. Information Provided by DIAB |
