CoreLite PET 65

1 of 8 products in this brand

CoreLite PET is a cost-effective, closed-cell PET foam specially formulated to provide high mechanical properties. It is a 100% recyclable polymer foam with excellent performance. Engineered to meet the physical demands needed in high performance applications, including carrying static and dynamic loads. CoreLite PET can be used as a replacement for PVC and Honeycomb. It possesses excellent laminate-to-core bonding adhesion. Resistance to fatigue is superior, as well as its chemically stability and UV resistance. Water absorption is minimal. CoreLite PET can handle processing temperatures up to 150 °C (302 °F) . During high temperature processing it is thermally stable and no outgassing or expansion after postcure occurs. In the event of fire, no toxic gasses are generated.
