Stiff PVC Foam Cores


- Color: See table
- Maximum Temperature: 170° F
- Tensile Strength: See table
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
Add stiffness to composite sandwiches without adding a lot of weight. These cores are lighter in weight than balsa wood and aluminum honeycomb cores, but not as strong. Their cross-linked foam polymers, however, make them stronger and more durable than PET foam cores. All of these cores are moisture resistant and offer good sound insulation. Use them in composite layups, structural panels, partitions, and industrial tanks.
Scored cores have cuts in a grid pattern that make them easier to bend and form into complex shapes than plain cores.

Ultra-Conformable Light Duty Vinyl Foam Sheets and Strips
These vinyl foam sheets and strips are so conformable that once they’re compressed they won’t fully spring back. Use them to fill gaps and seal uneven surfaces. They offer excellent resistance to water, sunlight, and oxidation. This foam has closed-cell construction, which restricts water, air, and gases from being absorbed.
Foam with ultra-smooth texture has a sleek surface that's easy to wipe down.
