Armacell is introducing ArmaPET Struct GRX. With stock now arriving in New Zealand, this product will replace the currently stocked GR grade as existing stock depletes.

The new GRX grade offers the following improvements:

  • Optimised resin uptake improves the sandwich panel’s weight and cost.
  • Excellent thermal and dimensional stability facilitates repeatability in production.
  • Outstanding fatigue resistance bolsters long-term performance and reduces lifetime maintenance.
  • 100% recycled material supports industry environmental and sustainability requirements.

Armacell strive for continuous improvement based on customer needs. The ArmaPET Struct GRX range features a more homogenous, finer cell structure and improved shear properties. This new generation of structural foam core provides significant savings in resin uptake to further optimise weight and cost.

Testing has proven that ArmaPET Struct GRX has comparable or higher mechanical performance compared to the current GR grade. Especially in shear properties, the adjusted foam recipe provides an increase of up to 30%. Resin uptake with the new GRX grade will reduce resin usage by up to 60%.

Specifications

  • Sheet size: 1008mm x 2440mm (standard)

  • Thickness range: 10mm to 150mm (depending on foam density)

  • Indented orders for non-stocked densities can be supplied on full pallet order or FCL.
