FAQ

How to detect water intrusion?

Acoustic testing and IR scans reveal delamination or moisture.

How do you inspect foam-cored structures?

Ultrasound, tap testing, thermography, and shear testing.

Is PVC foam fire resistant?

FR grades are available depending on regulatory requirements.

How is foam bonded in vertical bulkheads?

Using epoxy or MMA adhesives and fiberglass laminates.

Does PVC foam cause print-through?

Proper curing and surface finishing minimize print-through effects.

Is thermal expansion an issue?

Minor; engineers account for it during layup.

Does PVC foam compress under vacuum?

Quality foams have very low compression under vacuum pressure.

Can foam be layered in multiple densities?

Yes. Multi-density configurations optimize weight and strength.
