Description:
AIREX® R63 is a closed-cell, linear,
thermoplastic polymer foam with
extremely high damage tolerance.
This one of a kind formula combines
very high elongation and excellent
bond strength. AIREX® R63 is cold
formable to simple shapes and
thermo-formable to complex threedimensional
curves, and is nonfriable.
AIREX® R63 is an exceptional core
material for dynamically loaded and
shock absorbing sandwich structures.
