Armacell’s patented rPET foaming technology is going to the next level.
Armacell is introducing ArmaPET Struct GRX. With stock now starting to arrive in NZ, this will replace the currently stocked GR grade product.
As current GR stock depletes, the new grade of GRX will offer 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 low lifetime maintenance.
- 100% recycled material supports industry environmental and sustainability requirements.
The ArmaPET Struct GRX range features a more homogenous and finer cell structure in combination with improved shear properties. This new generation of structural foam core provides significant savings in resin uptake to optimise weight and cost savings further.
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 uptake by up to 60%. Sheet sizes remain the same at 1008mm x 2440mm as standard. Thicknesses will range from 10mm to 150mm depending on density of the foam. Indented orders for densities not held in stock can be offered on full pallet order or FCL.
