RLRSTICGlf
Two different models available;
1. Standard cross-linked version means good shear resistance and high elongation
• Main applications in naval construction, wind energy, industry...
* Main advantages:
• doesn't contain chlorine.
• Finer cell structure (in comparison with PVC) means lower resin absorption.
• Sandwich construction using STRUCT-CORE is lighter than PVC one.
• High mechanical adherence due the chemical reaction of the resins with the polyurethane structure of the core material.
2. Fl Ml version means no toxic or dense smoke emission and low flammability
■ Main applications in public areas, vessels, train and aircraft construction. Or military uses.
■ Main advantages:
• doesn't contain chlorine,
• cross-linked foam, higher compression strength
• unique Fl class 1 AFNOR approved in the market. Means no toxic and dense smoke (main cause of death in case of fire event is the asphyxia produced by smoke and gases).
• Ml means no flame propagation, AFNOR approved.
• FAR classified (for aeronautical).
• ISO classified.
• Good lamination even when using aluminium, wood or GRP.
• Thermal isolation (low thermal conductivity: 0.028-0.030 W/mK.).
• Acoustic isolation due its closed cell .
• Major shear resistance than PET (Poly-Ethyiene-Terephtalate).
SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION
^^^^^■^^■^^^H A sandwich structure consists of two high strength skins separated by a light
^^^^ M Inserting a core into the laminate is a way of increasing its thickness without ^^^^^^^^^^ incurring the weight penalty that comes from adding extra laminate layers or extra framing. The flexion resistance of the structural element is directly proportional to the ten­sile modulus and inertia's moment.
Core materials in a sandwich structure act as a continuous web between the load-bearing flanges. Sandwich construction dramatically increases stiffness whilst reducing weight. Greater the core thickness could be, greater would be its rigidity and its relative resistance.
Main properties we look in a core material:
Toughness and impact resistance: the core acts as a shock absorber that evenly supports the outside skin in severe impacts. Protects the inside skin by dissipating the impact load over a wider area. More high degree toughness of the core, more impact resistance. The core therefore needs to have enough elasticity to absorb the impacts and maintain the bond to the skin under such conditions. Not all foam cores can do this effectively, some of them often shows no outward sign of damage but the impacts are transmitted from the outside skin to the inside skin, causing local delamination.
Stiffness and light weight: cores were introduced into the marine industry to increase the stiff­ness and reduce the weight of laminates. Balsa was the first type of core to be used in boats due its good stiffness, but is always a heavier option through its high density and its tendency to absorb large quantities of resin during lamination, adding not only weight but also cost. A core less ductile does not perform well under impact. We need a balance between toughness, stiffness and heat tolerance.
