Properties

A.G.S. Taron's aluminum foam can be defined as a composite material consisting of a aluminum matrix and void spaces. These void spaces can vary widely from approximately 50% to 90% of the total volume. The foam preserves many of the general characteristics of its parent metal with the following properties:

• Ultra lightweight metal
• High stiffness to weight ratio (up to 2 x aluminum)
• Excellent impact, vibration and energy absorption
• Good sound absorption
• Low thermal conductivity
• Good corrosion resistance
• Good fire retardant
• Fully recyclable

A.G.S. Taron's aluminum foam composites can be supplied either as bare foam or in a sandwich structure, in a variety of densities, thicknesses, shapes, and cladding materials, such as, aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and titanium. The enhanced properties of aluminum foam panels/sheets will generate new substitution opportunities for aluminum, steel, wood sheathing, other composites and materials in market applications where its characteristics bring new added value.
