TDS 3D|CORE™ XPS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and application guidelines for 3D|CORE™ XPS, a polystyrene foam used in ultra-lightweight construction. It highlights the material's properties, applications, and processing methods.
Material Properties: 3D|CORE™ XPS is a closed-cell foam with no water absorption, re-expansion, or outgassing. It offers long-term thermal stability up to 70°C and is easy to process with Epoxy and PU resin systems. The foam is not compatible with Styrene and provides excellent surface adhesion and thermal insulation.
Applications: The foam is suitable for various industries, including ship and boat building (hull, deck, interior), industrial components (sport equipment, furniture), architecture and construction (roofs, walls, panels), motorsport (spoiler, bonnet, side elements), and sports & leisure (canoe, surfboard).
Processing Methods: Recommended processing methods include hand lay-up, vacuum infusion, vacuum-assisted light-RTM, and bonding.
Technical Data: The document notes that the values provided are based on supplier data and 3D|CORE's evaluations. It emphasizes the importance of individual strength calculations and component testing for each part. Resin uptake for different structures (HX, RB, DT) is specified, with values provided as indicative.
Additional Notes: The document includes disclaimers about the variability of measurements and the need for user-specific testing. It also provides contact information for 3D|CORE GmbH & Co. KG.

3D|CORE™ XPS 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.
