Engineered for specific end uses, Atvantage® provides
compressive strength, flame retardancy, acoustic attenuation, and thermal insulation,
while achieving a balance between product performance, life, and cost.
Atvantage® is available in a structural core and
an insulating core.
Composite Structural Core (CSC): Mechanically interlocked in an isotropic array with chemical enhancements, CSC provides
acoustic, thermal, and vibration attenuation while maintaining all structural
properties… even in complex shapes including strength, stiffness, thickness, and
uniformity.
By adjusting fiber blends and
resins, CSC is engineered to be manufacturing compatible with your fabricating processes. It can be used in many product designs, including those
that must meet requirements for FAR 25.853, BAC-5564, and U.L. 94 HB Tests.
Although CSC is widely found
in the aerospace and automotive industries, it is also popular in the medical and marine
environments. Applications range from military shelters to
amusement rides.
Products and features:
- CSC001 – an advanced composite made from high performance fibers.
- CSC002 – a superiorly engineered, economical composite made from polyester fibers.
- CSC004 – engineered
from high performance fibers with chemical enhancements.
- CSC005, CSC006 – meets aerospace requirements to be lighter and thinner. Available in a wet moldable state that is contained in an
air tight environment without requiring refrigeration.
- TCSC07 – thermo-formable composite is a variable stiffener and an acoustical and thermal insulator. Designed to eliminate the use of foam for durable long-term exposure to the outdoors.
Composite
Insulating Core (CIC): CIC’s
superior design offers exceptional insulating properties where stability in high
temperature environments is required. CIC is a structured fiber array; constructed
using advanced manufacturing techniques. It can be chemically enhanced but does not need
woven fabric support.
CIC is compatible with your fabricating processes and can be used in
many product designs, including those that must pass tough industry standards such as FAR
25.853, U.L 94 HB, and BAC-5564.
Products and features:
- CIC001 – pliable. Lightweight
with low density and an insulating batting. It fills problematic and intricate voids and is a thermal and acoustical insulator.
- CIC002, CIC003, CIC008, CIC008 – stable. Consistent Z-axis integrity provides uniform thickness and
density. It has enhanced dimensional stability while resisting shedding or
linting.
- CIC007 – enhanced. Excellent repellency against oil and water with superior dimensional stability. Outstanding Velcro® compatibility for easy structural attachment
- CIC010, CIC011 – resilient. Rapid compressive recovery
ensuring surface uniformity, long life undeterred by environmental factors, and conforms to intricate spatial configurations
- CIC012 – cushioning.
Advanced Z-axis resiliency provides uniform thickness and density for airline seating. It's
easily shaped and contoured for
improved comfort.
- CIC021 – economical. Synthetic insulation pad that is both resilient and economical. Designed to be t hermally stable up to 300° F.
