PET
PET foam core, is a thermoplastic material which has a good balance between mechanical properties, temperature resistance, density and cost, and can also be used in various processes. Its structure allows to obtain an extremely low resin absorption (even lower than PVC) ensuring a remarkable reduction of laminate’s final weight, however, increasing its rigidity and ensuring a high resistance under stress. It is compatible with most of commercially available resins and, furthermore, it is also adaptable to a wide range of molding processes such as hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, infusion and similar, but also for applications under mechanical pressing. PET is mainly used in reneweble energies, marine and transport sectors.
