Wind Industry Lightweight Structural Foam Core for Wind Turbines When a manufacturing company wants to keep up with the global competition in the medium and long term, it has to be open to new market opportunities and to new materials. PET foam for composite applications will certainly meet expectations in this respect. Our rigid, engineered ArmaForm® structural foam is a lightweight core that is ideal for the blades of wind turbines. PET (Polyethylene-Terephthalate) is widely known and familiar to consumers in the form of PET bottles. Yet this is only one area of application for this lightweight, recyclable thermoplast. PET foam will open up a great number of possibilities as a core material. The well-known core materials in the industry are PVC, SAN and PMI foams, as well as balsa and honeycombs. The innovative PET foam board displays an interesting ratio of density to stability. This foam is lightweight, stable yet flexible, offers a great compressive strength and is temperature resistant. Applications: Wind Energy Building & Construction Transport Marine General Industry For more information on PET structural foam, please visit our Core Foams website.

OEM-HVAC 35 years of component foam expertise for HVAC manufacturers Armacell elastomeric foams provide superior insulation for HVAC equipment and systems, including the component foam required for the completed manufacture of various types of HVAC equipment, such as air handlers. Armacell’s EnsoLite® component foam materials are widely used by HVAC manufacturers. Ensolite EF0 semi-open-cell soft foams and SF0 semi-closed-cell foams are extremely conformable, which makes them perfect for use inside air handlers or around chillers. Proper application of these materials enhances the efficiency of HVAC equipment while protecting surrounding spaces from noise and mechanical vibration. Armacell products are tested to applicable flame-resistance standards and meet an HVAC manufacturers’ specifications. Like all Armacell products, our component foam is fiber-free and easier to maintain than particulating or fibrous insulation materials. Attributes: Insulation – energy savings Flame resistance Fiber-free Sound isolation Check our Product Selector Tool to find products that meet your requirements. Custom products are an option, so please contact us with specific questions regarding your product or application.
Structural Foam Cores The lightweight core foams for strong structures Manufacturers that seek to compete globally in the medium and long term have to be open to new market opportunities and new materials. Armacell’s PET foams for composite applications are a material solution that might just give your products the competitive edge. Our rigid, engineered ArmaForm® structural foam is a lightweight core foam that is ideal for such weight-sensitive products as wind turbine blades. PET (Polyethylene-Terephthalate) is widely known and familiar to consumers in the form of PET bottles. Yet this is only one area of application for this lightweight recyclable thermoplast. PET foam has many more possibilities as a core material. It is a potential alternative to PVC, SAN, and PMI foams, as well as balsa and honeycombs. Like these more well-known materials, PET foam board has an impressive ratio of density to stability. It is lightweight and flexible, yet stable. It also offers excellent compressive strength and temperature resistance.
