Creative Foam supplies what it calls "value-engineered" core kits designed to minimize layup time in automotive, aerospace, medical and wind-energy composites applications.
Creative Foam (Fenton, Mich.) supplies what it calls "value-engineered" core kits designed to minimize layup time in automotive, aerospace, medical and wind-energy composites applications. Touted at the recent WINDPOWER event, its HybriCortz kits can contain core materials from different sources, with complete traceability. The kits are optimized for cost, availability, shape and weight, based on customer specifications, and may include balsa, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and/or urethane foam cores. Kits also may include TYCOR fiber-reinforced foam core materials from Milliken (Spartanburg, S.C.), which incorporate a variety of foam and preformed materials.
