Introduction of SunForce™
A Foam Core Material Contributing to Total Cost Reduction and Increased Shape Flexibility of FRP Composites
SunForce™ – Suitable for Composite Core Materials with FRP
Recently, the application of composite materials layered with FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics) reinforced with glass or carbon fibers and foam is expanding to reduce weight and increase the stiffness of parts in many applications like medical applications (CT / X-ray).
Asahi Kasei proposes to use SunForce™ as composite core materials for RTM/PCM methods.
