|In case you haven't seen it, in the following link you can see how the 700kPa (100PSI) XPS compares to other XPS and Divinycell H60 in compression..

Yes, I did see. This pic of the F700 vs H60 troubles me.

In this pic, H60 and F700 were stacked and compressed excessively.
Does H60 not recover from being crushed? Did the F700 reinflate? The F700 has 30% less compressive strength, but looking at that pic, you would think the opposite.
So I don't understand that pic.
The builder does make the point that XPS has a much finer cell, so the laminate will be lighter. I will add, the excess epoxy to fill a more open cell foam is a very weak and heavy choice. If one wanted a lighter composite, one could skim coat voids with microballons and epoxy, I imagine. But I don't know how to make the skim coat infusion bond have strength!
While there is some concern that the lack of texture will make a weaker foam laminate bond, I do not think that has been shown a reasonable concern. The foam laminate bond is not high stress, and is quite weak, as a peel test shows.
|I will actually make another attempt at contacting him, since we are both in Sweden.
I look forward to hearing how it goes.
