Tegracore™ R-1050 is a high-performance foam based on Radel® polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), a versatile, super-tough thermoplastic with a long history of success in structural and decorative aircraft interior components. Tegracore™ R-1050 foam exhibits exceptionally high damage tolerance and withstands prolonged exposure to water, aggressive chemicals including Skydrol® and jet fuel, and temperatures ranging from -40°C to 204°C (-40°F to 400°F). It is compliant with aerospace flame/smoke and toxicity (FST) standards. R-1050 foam can be continuously produced in shapes, making it particularly well-suited to implement cost-effective, highly automated interior part production processes. Because R-1050 foam is fully thermoplastic, it can be repaired and recycled. It can be cut, bonded and formed with conventional equipment. Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers. |
