AIREX® PXw

Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
AIREX® PXw is a closed-cell, fiber-reinforced polymer foam panel known for its high mechanical properties. It features continuous glass fibers distributed throughout the foam, enhancing its flexural strength and stiffness. This material is dimensionally stable, resistant to chemicals, high temperatures, and does not lose strength when wet, making it an ideal replacement for wood and plywood in static applications.
Key Features:
  • Stand-alone product without the need for face sheets
  • High flexural strength and stiffness
  • Good fastener pull-out strength
  • High heat and chemical resistance
  • Compatible with various resins and adhesives
  • Very low water absorption and non-biodegradable
Applications:
  • Wind Energy: Floors, bulkheads, transoms, stringers, engine beds, interiors, tooling, and molds
  • Road and Rail: Floors, sidewalls, roofs, engine covers, interior panels
  • Industrial: Covers, tanks, containers, floors, tooling, molds, concrete forms, architectural panels, tub, and shower enclosures
Processing Methods:
  • Contact molding (hand/spray)
  • Resin infusion/injection (VARTM/RTM)
  • Adhesive bonding
  • Pre-preg processing
  • Processing molding (GMT)
Technical Specifications:
Available in different densities (PXw.320, PXw.385, PXw.420) with varying mechanical properties such as compressive strength, shear strength, and flexural strength. Standard sheet dimensions are 1219 mm x 2438 mm with thickness options ranging from 12 mm to 50 mm. Finishing options and custom dimensions are available upon request.

AIREX® PXw-1

Fiber-Reinforced Structural Foam Panel DATA SHEET 07.2011 - Replaces 08.2010DESCRIPTION AIREX® PXw is a closed-cell, fiber reinforced polymer foam panel with a special formulation and very high mechanical properties. The sophisticated manufacturing process evenly distributes continuous glass fibers with woven fabrics throughout the foam. This generates a product with enhanced mechanical properties in flexure (bending), allowing it to be used with or without face sheets. AIREX® PXw is dimensionally stable, does not lose strength when wet, and is resistant to chemicals and high temperatures. It is ideally suited as a material for static applications requiring high stiffness or as a replacement for wood and plywood.
