Technical Details & Test Data
- Configuration
ELFOAM P200 is manufactured in bunstock form 26” (66cm) thick; 48” (122cm) wide; and 72”, 96”, 108”, 120”, and 144” (183cm, 244cm, 274cm, 305cm, and 396cm) long. Cut sheets are offered in thicknesses from 1/8” to 12” (.32cm to 30cm) in 1/32” (.08cm) increments. Custom sizes and fabricated parts up to 26” (66cm) thick, 48” (122cm) wide and 192” (488cm) in length are available for customers wanting to eliminate in-house cutting, handling, and scrap disposal.
- Design Considerations
ELFOAM P200 is designed for use in environments where temperatures range from -297 to +300°F (-183 to +149°C). However, in non-laminated applications where temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) and/or have relative humidity above 70% as well as in processes where frequent and severe thermal cycling occurs, allowances for foam dimensional changes may need to be incorporated into engineering design. Regardless of operating conditions, a qualified design engineer should review all foam applications. ELFOAM, like all cellular plastics, will degrade with prolonged exposure to sunlight. To prevent such degradation, foam materials should be covered. Other barriers to protect exposed foam surfaces from the elements and to meet applicable fire and safety regulations may also be required.
