Technical Data

Divinycell F is a recyclable, prepreg compatible sandwich core offering excellent FST (fire, smoke and toxicity) properties, good mechanicals and processing characteristics. Divinycell F has been specifically developed for commercial aircraft interior applications. It more than exceeds the US and European regulatory requirements for commercial aircraft interiors. Other key features include 220C (425F) processing temperature, superior damage tolerance, exceptional fatigue life, low water absorption, good chemical resistance, excellent hot/wet properties and excellent heat ageing at 180C (356F). Divinycell F is compatible with most common composite manufacturing processes. In addition Divinycell F is both hot and cold formable. For optimal design of applications used in high operating temperatures in combination with continuous load, please contact DIAB Technical Services for detailed design instructions.
