CoreLite PVC R 130

CoreLite PVC R 130 is a closed-cell, cross-linked polymer PVC foam formulated for durability, strength, and high processing temperatures. It consists of multiple PVC foam strips fused together, in an effort to recycle the foam strips. It is compatible with multiple resins and adhesives. This product is self-extinguishing when in contact with fire.
It has a very low water absorption rate and excellent chemical resistance. Ideal for many lightweight composite applications.
