Ravatherm XPS X is an excellent core material for a wide range of sandwich panel applications. The key benefits of Ravatherm XPS X are:
- High Mechanical Strength in compression, tension, bending and shear. Panels manufactured with Ravatherm XPS X exhibit high impact strength and resistance to dynamic loading.
- Lightweight – Ravatherm XPS X has a high strength to weight ratio
- Good Thermal Insulation – Ravatherm XPS X has excellent thermal properties.
- Water and Vapour resistance – The closed cell structure of Ravatherm XPS X ensures that performance is maintained even in external situations or where moisture exists.
- Bonding Surface – Ravatherm XPS X has a smooth dust free surface and is ideal for bonding. Hot-wire cut Ravatherm XPS X is available and provides an excellent bonding surface combined with consistent thickness for high quality bonding.
Blowing Agents
The production of Ravatherm XPS X is primarily based on the extrusion of polystyrene with a blowing agent. There are two types of blowing agents used in the production of Ravatherm. These are HFO-1234ze and CO2. Both have zero ODP and low GWP. The ODP and GWP of the carbon dioxide foaming agent are 0 (kg CFC11 equivalent/kg carbon dioxide) and 1 (kg carbon dioxide/kg carbon dioxide) respectively.
