Excellence in Core Solutions

AIREX® R82 - High Performance Foam

A thermoplastic foam that combines outstanding fire resistance with low smoke and toxicity, along with excellent dielectric properties. It has a high strength to weight ratio, low moisture absorption, is thermoformable, and ductile. It is an exceptional core material for use in applications that demand structural fire resistance, are required to be transparent to radar, or operate in extreme hot or cold environments.
