DIAB brand PVC foam

A group of PVC-based foam sheets, trade mark – Divinycell H, is used as a core material for the production of strong, rigid, lightweight sandwich structures.

Sandwich structures (structures) – a class of composite materials, consisting of the following elements:

• two thin durable facing plates – cladding
• thick lightweight PVC foam core (Divinycell type) separating the load-bearing plates and distributing the load between them
• adhesive layers that bond the plates to the PVC foam core and transfer the load from the core to the facing and vice versa

The entire line of Divinycell H PVC foam has a high strength / weight ratio, exceptional dynamic strength, excellent insulating properties. PVC foam has a closed cell structure, which makes it waterproof.

PVC-BASED FOAM

Benefits: 

• high strength / weight ratio
• resistance to dynamic loads
• self-extinguishing
• reduced water absorption
• full compatibility with fiberglass
• freedom in product design
• flexibility in production

These properties provided a competitive advantage of PVC foam over other materials used in the production of sandwich structures (for example, balsa) and led to the widespread use of Divinycell H PVC foam, primarily in shipbuilding, automotive, power engineering (wind generators), aircraft construction and allow the use of PVC foam. Divinycell H in sandwich structures where strength, rigidity and low weight are required.
