Applications & Uses
- Applications
-
Typical products incorporating DiTech Core Material include:
- Laminated wall and roof panels
- Truck/Trailer bodies, shipping containers and railcars
- FRP panels, tanks and shelters
- Pultrusion and infusion processes
- Pipe, tank and vessel insulation
- Plugs, patterns and carved products
Note that application testing is often required to determine suitability of the foam for a specific application. Potential users should perform pertinent testing to determine the suitability of the product for the intended application. Final determination of fitness of the product for any particular use is the responsibility of the buyer.

Physical Properties:
- 1 - Data shown are typical values obtained from representative production samples. For specific property ranges, consult the Indianapolis Sales Office.
- 2 - All properties measured at 73 ± 4°F (23 ± 2°C) unless otherwise indicated.
Typical Values:
- 3 - To be used only as a guide for design engineering purposes. Potential user is responsible for performing pertinent tests required to determine product suitability for the intended application.
4 - k-factors and R-values vary with age and use conditions. Contact Indianapolis Sales Office for values at other mean temperatures.
5 - Represents the lowest typical value across all axes related to Perpendicular to Rise performance. Contact the Indianapolis Sales Office for additional information.
6 - Frequent and severe thermal cycling can produce dimensional changes significantly greater than those stated here. Special design consideration must be made in applications that cycle frequently.
7 - Published data is not intended to reflect hazards represented by this or any other material under actual fire conditions. This material is combustible when exposed to large fire sources.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Configuration
-
DiTech Core Material is manufactured in bunstock form 16” (40cm) thick; 48” (122cm) wide; and 96” (244cm) long. Cut sheets are offered in thicknesses from 1/8” to 6” (.32cm to 16cm) in 1/32” (.08cm) increments. Custom sizes and fabricated parts up to 16” (66cm) thick, 48” (122cm) wide and 192” (488cm) in length are available for customers wanting to eliminate in-house cutting, handling, and scrap disposal.
- Design Considerations
-
DiTech Core Material is designed for use in environments where temperatures range from -297 to +300°F (-183 to +149°C). However, in non-laminated applications where temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) and/or have relative humidity above 70% as well as in processes where frequent and severe thermal cycling occurs, allowances for foam dimensional changes may need to be incorporated into engineering design. Regardless of operating conditions, a qualified design engineer should review all foam applications. DiTech Core Material, like all cellular plastics, will degrade with prolonged exposure to sunlight. To prevent such degradation, foam materials should be covered. Other barriers to protect exposed foam surfaces from the elements and to meet applicable fire and safety regulations may also be required.
