Product catalog summary
Overview: The 3D|CORE™ PET GR foam core is an environmentally friendly, closed-cell, thermoplastic, and recyclable rigid foam made entirely from recycled materials. It is designed for high-strength lightweight components and features an integrated honeycomb structure for flexibility and ease of handling.
Specifications: The foam core is compatible with all known resin systems and processes, offering excellent fatigue resistance, long-term thermal stability up to 100°C, and a high processing temperature of up to 180°C. It is characterized by its closed-cell structure, which prevents water absorption, re-expansion, and outgassing. The material also boasts high chemical resistance, excellent surface adhesion, and consistent material properties.
Applications: The foam core is suitable for various applications, including rail and road vehicles (roofs, floor panels, interiors), ship and boat building (hulls, decks, masts), industrial components (containers, covers), architecture and construction (roofs, walls), aviation (interiors, kitchen furniture), motorsport (spoilers, bonnets), automotive (underbody protection, battery boxes), and sports equipment (canoes, surfboards).
Processing Methods: The foam core can be processed using hand lay-up, vacuum infusion, vacuum-assisted RTM, wet pressing, autoclave, prepreg, SMC, and bonding techniques.
Technical Data: The technical data provided are based on supplier values and measurements on sandwich panels made by 3D|CORE using an epoxy system and vacuum injection technology. The values are indicative and may vary depending on the manufacturing process. The resin uptake for the hexagon structure during vacuum infusion is approximately 50g/m²/mm.
Notes: The document emphasizes the importance of individual strength calculations and component testing for each part, as the quality of the foam core significantly influences the final composite quality. Tolerances are noted as +/-7 kg/m³.

3D|CORE™ PET GR 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.
