Divinycell F is a significant breakthrough in core material development, offering low FST (fire, smoke and toxicity) properties coupled with good mechanical and processing characteristics.
Developed by DIAB primarily for the commercial aircraft and public transportation markets, it more than exceeds the regulatory requirements for aircraft and train interiors.
Key Features |
• Excellent Fire Behaviour
• Very Low Smoke & Toxicity – Self Extinguishing
• High Temperature Resistance
• Excellent Heat Ageing at 180°C (356°F)
• Superior Damage Tolerance
• Low Water Absorption - 2 v%.
• Good Peel Strength |
• Excellent Fatigue Life
• Good Resistance to Most Aircraft Fluids
• High Toughness
• Low Creep
• Superior Dielectric Characteristics
• Good Acoustic/Sound Insulation Properties |
Divinycell F is compatible with the vast majority of composite manufacturing processes up to 220°C (428°F) curing cycles, including prepregs and infusion. When used with most pre-pregs it does not require the use of a film adhesive.
With its superior fire properties Divinycell F is ideal for aircraft interiors including wall panelling, ceiling modules, luggage bins and doors/lockers. Its close cell structure makes it particularly suitable for galleys and toilets.
It is also an excellent sandwich core material for train and subway interiors, exceeding as it does, the new EN 45545-2 regulatory requirements.
Standard & Special Finishing
Divinycell F sandwich core can be supplied with a wide range of finishes to facilitate installation, enhance component quality and to meet specific process requirements. These include grid-scored, double cut and 'infusion' grooved/perforated forms.
Ready-Made Kits
For those involved in series production, Divinycell F can be supplied in ready-made construction kits where each piece is pre-cut, shaped as necessary and numbered to fit exactly into its designated place in the mold. This substantially reduces build times, saves labor costs, improves quality and cuts waste.
