CORE MATERIALS
ACT Core PVC Foam
Product Code: SDF-COR-080
With its hexagonally shaped construction, ACT Core targets conformability to complex surfaces, more balanced load transfer and controlled resin consumption.
Why does it matter?
Linear channels in conventional scored panels can affect resin consumption and stress distribution. ACT Core geometry aims to reduce these effects and improve repeatability.
Key points
- Conformability over sharp corners and complex geometry
- Controlled resin flow
- Targeted lower resin uptake
- Isotropic structural approach
- Easier maintenance and local replacement
See the PVC foam guide for density and resin compatibility.
Technical Details
The ACT Core catalogue highlights true isotropic properties, high peel and fatigue resistance, reduced stress concentrations, controlled resin flow and lower resin uptake than conventional flexible panels. Numerical design values must be confirmed against the current TDS for the ordered grade.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does ACT Core differ from conventional scored PVC?
The catalogue presents hexagonal segmentation, reduced linear bonding lines, isotropic load transfer and controlled resin flow as key differences.
Which geometries can benefit?
It targets easier lamination over sharp corners and complex three-dimensional surfaces; actual suitability must be verified by part trials.
Is resin consumption guaranteed?
No. The catalogue targets lower, controlled resin uptake; consumption must be measured by trial for core thickness, cut pattern, vacuum level and resin viscosity.
