Alveolen

Alveolen - physically crosslinked, closed cell polyolefin foams, produced in continuous sheets, horizontally foamed with two process skins.

Density range*: 25 - 250 kg/m³
Thickness range*: 3 - 12 mm  
Width range*:  1300 - 2500 mm  

*depending on type/grade

• thickness range between 3 and 12 mm (single layer). Multi layer up to 40 mm

Alveolen types are defined by specific characteristics and are based on different formulations:

• NA standard type
• NA CO electrically conductive
• NA FMV flame retardant according to FMVSS 302
• NA FR flame retardant according to DIN 4102 - B2
• NA FR HF halogen free, flame retardant
• NA FRB improved flame retardant (DIN 4102 - B1 on special request)
• NE soft and elastic
• NEE excellent soft and elastic
• NEP, PE foam fulfilling Ford leakage specification
• NES extremely soft and elastic
• NLB improved heatpress formability
• NP (A) FRV, PP foam, fulfilling VW’s PV 3357 specification
• NP DM G soft and good dimensional stability
• NP G, PP foam, high dimensional stability and vacuumformability
• NP FR G good dimensional stability, vacuumformability and FMVSS 302
• NPA FR G high dimensional stability, vacuumformability and FMVSS 302
• NSR II highly super soft and elastic
• NT increased hardness and temperature stability
• NT FR flame retardant according DIN 4102 - B2 and FMVSS 302
• N_ SAN* anti-microbial (Sanitized")

* on request any Alveolen type is available in SAN formulation
