Product catalog summary
Properties and Technical Data:
The 3D|CORE™ PET FR is a closed-cell, thermoplastic, and recyclable rigid foam known for its excellent fire retardant and self-extinguishable properties, compliant with EN 45545-2 and IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 5. It offers very good fire, smoke, and toxicity (FST) properties, excellent fatigue resistance, and long-term thermal stability up to 100°C. The material can withstand very high processing temperatures up to 180°C and exhibits high chemical resistance, homogenous component connections, and excellent surface adhesion. It also provides good thermal insulation and features an integrated flow mesh.
Applications:
The foam is suitable for various applications across different industries, including rail and road vehicles (roofs, floor panels, interiors), ship and boat building (hull, deck, mast), industrial components (containers, safety doors), architecture and construction (roofs, walls), and automotive (underbody protection, battery box).
Processing Methods:
The core is compatible with all known resin systems and processes, including hand lay-up, vacuum infusion, vacuum-assisted RTM, wet pressing, autoclave, prepreg, SMC, and bonding.
Structure and Measurements:
The foam features a honeycomb structure that enhances flexibility and ease of handling. Resin uptake for the hexagon structure during vacuum infusion is approximately 50g/m²/mm. The values provided are based on measurements from sandwich panels produced with an epoxy system and vacuum injection technology, with specimen thickness of 20mm. Tolerances are +/-7 kg/m³.

3D|CORE™ PET FR TECHNICAL DATA Status: 01.02.2021 (1): The values above are the actual values of the suppliers of the precursor material. We cannot give a guarantee for the quality of the values and the related measurements. 3D|CORE primarily evaluates the properties of processing of the individual foam system knowing that the quality of the foam core is essential for the quality of the composite. The size of cavities and the properties have a major influence of the final part. Please regard that every part requires its own calculation of strength and component testing.
