Product catalog summary
Overview: The 3D|CORE™ PET is a closed-cell, thermoplastic, and recyclable rigid foam known for its excellent technical properties, making it suitable for constructing high-strength lightweight components. It features a honeycomb structure that enhances flexibility and ease of handling.
Key Properties:
  • Excellent fatigue resistance and long-term thermal stability up to 100°C.
  • High processing temperature up to 180°C.
  • Closed-cell foam with no water absorption, re-expansion, or outgassing.
  • Compatible with all known resin systems and processes.
  • High chemical resistance and excellent surface adhesion.
  • Consistent material properties and good thermal insulation.
  • Integrated flow mesh for enhanced processing.
Certifications: Certified according to DNV GL and available with FR grade as per EN 45545-2 and IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 5.
Applications: The material is applicable in various industries, including:
  • Rail and road vehicles: roofs, floor panels, interior, etc.
  • Ship and boat building: hull, deck, mast, etc.
  • Industrial components: containers, covers, safety doors, etc.
  • Architecture and construction: roofs, walls, panels.
  • Aviation: interior, kitchen furniture, radomes.
  • Motorsport: spoiler, bonnet, side elements, trunk lid.
  • Automotive: underbody protection, battery box, trunk plate, chassis.
  • Sports: canoe, surfboard, skateboard.
Processing Methods: The core can be processed using various methods such as hand lay-up, vacuum infusion, vacuum-assisted RTM, wet pressing, autoclave, prepreg, SMC, and bonding.
Technical Data: The foam type is PET 150, with a resin uptake structure HX (vacuum infusion) of 50g/m²/mm. The resin uptake varies with the process, and the values provided are indicative.

3D|CORE™ PET TECHNICAL DATA Status: 01.02.2021 FOAM TYPE (1): The values above are the actual values of the suppliers of the precursor material. We cannot give a guarantee for the quality of the values and the related measurements. 3D|CORE primarily evaluates the properties of processing of the individual foam system knowing that the quality of the foam core is essential for the quality of the composite. The size of cavities and the properties have a major influence of the final part. Please regard that every part requires its own calculation of strength and component testing. (NH_17.10.2017)...
