SAN foam core is known for its excellent toughness, fatigue resistance, and impact performance. It performs particularly well under dynamic marine loading conditions.
Advantages include:
- Superior crack resistance
- High impact strength
- Excellent fatigue durability
- Better resin compatibility
- Good thermal performance
SAN foam is commonly used in:
- Racing yachts
- High-speed ferries
- Military vessels
- Offshore structures
Although more expensive than PVC or PET foam, SAN foam offers higher long-term structural reliability.
