PVC foam :

• used as a base material compatible with various reinforcing fibers of composite materials, such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, natural fiber with any binder (epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester and phenolic resins).
• to obtain a sandwich structure — the material can be adapted for various composite processing methods, including infusion, spraying, manual processing, vacuum, autoclave molding
• PVC foam plastic is used in various industries, shipbuilding, wind energy (blades), car building, aircraft building, sports equipment and containers production.

The main advantages of using Aircell PVC foam:

• structure weight reduction
• increase rigidity and provide good insulating properties

The plant is certified according to the international system ISO 9001.  

How to choose PVC — foam

When choosing a foam surface finish, we must consider the processing technology. Different foam finish surfaces can be combined, such as corrugated and perforated surface finish can be applied on double sheets, contour sheets for use on curved surface.

According to different processing methods and different surfaces, in order to optimize the penetration of binders, we have provided the following surface finishes.

Surface	Comments
SOLID FORM (Р)	Standard PVC foam sheets, without additional surface treatment.
PERFORATED FORM	Has additional processing, perforation on a surface. The holes are about 2 mm in diameter, the diameter of the hole can be adjusted if necessary depending on the density and thickness of the foam.
RIBBED FORM	The corrugated sheet is used in the processing of products in the infusion process, the grooves are used as resin channels. The grooves can be either horizontal, vertical or both directions at the same time.
RIBBED AND PERFORATED FORM	The surface is processed with grooves and perforation, the diameter of the perforation cell is 2 mm, the direction of the grooves is different, the distance between the grooves is 20 mm.
DOUBLE GROOVED FORM	The sheet is cut to 55-60% of its own thickness. Sheets are used on contoured surfaces, the penetration of the binder is worse compared to contour sheets.
OUTLINE FORM	The foam is cut into small pieces and glued on the inside to the camouflage glass tape. Primary use on contour planes.

PVC foam advantages:

•  foam can be used as the base material in a sandwich structure
• foam plastic of the «one-piece form» series has a high specific modulus of elasticity
•  foam has outstanding fatigue resistance properties, low water absorption
•  foam has high insulating properties
• P foam is compatible with various resins
• foam has high fire resistance

PVC foam is an ideal material which used as a base material in sandwich structures, it has a high strength composite core material. Processing can be carried out in the temperature range from -240 ºC to +100 ºC, high operating temperatures, in the range from -240 ºC to +80 ºC.

Shipbuilding

Structural foam is actively used in the maritime industry — these are sports boats, sailing boats, motor boats, recreational boats, racing yachts, military and patrol boats.

Structural HR materials are used in the production of side and internal hull structures. When using perforated sheets, vacuum infusion technology is applied. This process results in minimum weight and maximum speed.

For the patrol vessel, Structural HR foam is used in the development of the deck and structures. Together with aramid fabrics, it provides additional ballistic protection. Vacuum infusion technology is used to reduce weight and ensure boat speeds in excess of 50 knots.

Wind power

Structural foam is used to create streamlined shapes and blades in the wind energy industry; in the processes of vacuum forming (lamination), vacuum infusion and production of ppgs. Using a ready-made foam kit reduces production time and minimizes the cost of manufacturing products.

Other industrial applications

Structural foam is used in the composite manufacturing industry as a strong core material to create a lightweight, durable sandwich structure.

Structural foam is used in the production of various composite structures in architecture: facades, roofs and more. One of the main advantages of this material is minimal maintenance and high thermal insulation.

It is a closed cell, cross-linked PVC foam. It provides superior strength to weight ratio for all composite applications.
Other key features of PVC Foam include outstanding chemical resistance, negligible water absorption, and excellent thermal insulation capabilities. It is compatible with most common resin systems including epoxy, polyester and vinylester.
It is available in a wide range of formats with all standard cut patterns and finishes possible.
