What is Klegecell foam?
Klegecell R is a PVC based, rigid, closed-cell foam with a tri-dimensional grid structure, which provides high thermal stability and structural integrity. As a structural core, Klegecell R is used in conjunction with high strength facings to produce lightweight, yet exceptionally stiff composite structures.
What type of foam is used in boat hulls?
polyurethane foam
Like thermal tanks, boats also benefit from the advantages of using polyurethane as a large cavity filler. In the case of boats, filling the hull with polyurethane ensures insulation and buoyancy.
What type of foam does not absorb water?
Closed cell foam is more impermeable to water, vapor, and air. Therefore, it is less likely to be structurally impacted by the effects associated with water damage: mold, mildew, rot, and bacteria.
What is Corecell?
Gurit® Corecell™ M is a structural foam core material using a SAN polymer base featuring high toughness and impact resistant characteristics. It offers very reliable processing without outgassing for high quality parts.
Can you bend Divinycell?
You can form Divinycell with heat. I used a heat gun to bend it to conform to the deck crown of my board. It does not ‘spring back’ after it takes a ‘set’. You can heat it up and bend it with your hands, holding it while it cools and it remains the way you bend it.
What is Divinycell H80?
Divinycell H80 is a lightweight structural core for boats, reefers, doors, containers when higher physicals than H45 are required. Plain Divinycell sheets are not contourable, and are excellent for decks and boat hulls. Product is sold by the individual 4′ x 8′ sheet.
