High strength – low weight
With our purodur® systems you can produce components with sandwich material structure in one step. The reaction mixture foams in the closed mould: Due to specific compression and temperature ratio it produces a foam core with fine pores and a massive edge zone. Density is integrally distributed in the component’s cross-section.
Depending on density, hardness adjustment and degree of compression different material properties can be achieved. This provides products from lightweight construction to structure functions to high-quality class A surfaces. Completely according to your requirements.
