AIREX® TegraCore™
AIREX® TegraCoreTM is a closed-cell, ductile thermoplastic polymer foam that combines outstanding retardant properties at low flammability, smoke, toxicity and heat release rate, along with high temperature resilience and excellent lightweight properties. Additionally, very low moisture and resin absorption, thermo formability, damage tolerance and chemical resistance bundle to high performance combination.
