3A Composites Core Materials AIREX® C51.60 Industrial Processing Foam
Categories:	Other Engineering Material; Composite Core Material; Polymer
Material Notes:	AIREX® C51 is a closed-cell polymer foam with outstanding damage tolerance and formability. Its excellent price / performance ratio uniquely qualifies this core material for high-volume sandwich production. The foam has a high elongation at break and shows good impact properties. It can be formed at room temperature to simple shapes as well as thermoformed to complex three-dimensional parts. The perforation of AIREX® C51’s surface ensures a good adhesion to the laminate. The elevated temperature resistance allows short processing cycles with fast curing resin systems, including thermoplastic fiber reinforced skins (GMT) making it very suitable for mass-produced lightweight sandwich structures subjected to both static and dynamic loads. Characteristics High impact resistance (non-brittle failure mode) Elevated short-period temperature resistance Cold and hot formable to 3-dimensional contours Good fatigue resistance Superior bond strength Low resin absorption Good sound and thermal insulation Applications Road and Rail: Car bodies, headliners, deflectors, spoilers, seats, truck panels, side skirts, covers Wind Energy: Turbine generator housings Industrial: Containers, shelters, covers
