Corecell™ P-Foam Structural Core Material n Excellent impact tolerance n Suitable for dynamically-loaded structures n Suitable for processing with prepregs up to 85°C n Superior styrene and temperature resistance to linear PVC foam n Highly thermoformable Introduction Corecell P-Foam shares the benefits of SAN chemistry common to all Corecell products. Environmental stability – Tolerance for heat and chemical exposure Built in toughness – Very high ductility and damage tolerance compared to cross-linked PVC and Balsa Fine cell size – Resin absorption is very low, saving both weight and cost Superior uniformity – Low density variation Eliminating outgassing – Corecell eliminates the problems of foam outgassing Compatibility – Suitable for use with all polyester, vinylester and epoxy resins No inhibition – Corecell does not inhibit epoxy curing mechanisms Handling – Tough and easy to machine Corecell P-Foam is a development of Corecell A-Foam, intended for prepreg and SPRINT® manufacturing processes. Corecell P-Foam has incredible toughness and resistance to cracking, which comes from its high ductility. Corecell P-Foam can elongate up to 65% in shear before failure, making core shear failure in a laminate almost impossible. For the manufacturer of prepreg or SPRINT® structures, especially yacht hulls, Corecell P-Foam removes the problems of outgassing inhibition or thermal stability. Corecell P-Foam is also highly thermoformable, which is invaluable in the construction of high performance prepreg or SPRINT® structures. PDS-Corecell P-Foam-7-0511 1
