Performance Criteria

There are several key performance criteria to consider when selecting a core material for your application:

• Resistance to moisture and various chemicals
• Insulation efficiency
• Strength characteristics (tensile, shear, flexural and compressive strength)
• Machinability – ease of fabrication
• Adhesion and bonding – for lamination quality
• Environment/health concerns
• Flame/smoke performance

Characterized by their uniform, closed-cell structures and exceptional product quality, TRYMER™ core foams and STYROFOAM™ Panel Core offer moisture resistance, compatibility with a wide range of composite resins, superior thermal efficiency, high mechanical strength and fabrication ease.
