Divinycell® HM80

1 of 49 products in this brand
Divinycell HM is a high performance structural core designed for fast marine hulls where higher toughness is required. Divinycell HM combines a very high shear strength with an outstanding shear elongation. As a result, Divinycell HM is an extremely tough product, capable of absorbing high dynamic impacts and slamming loads. Divinycell HM´s elongation exceeds the requirements of ISO 12215, GL and ABS rules to allow for reduced safety factors in structural calculations, providing a lighter, yet strong structure. Divinycell HM’s high compressive properties provide excellent resistance to denting and skin wrinkling of thin skins. Divinycell HM offers a high operating temperature, thus reducing the risk of print through on dark hulls.
