TRYMER® L Series Low Index Polyisocyanurate Foam for Composite and Panel Applications

TRYMER® L Series foam is designed to meet a wide range of end user specifications.  As core materials for composite products, Trymer L Series products offer many benefits over conventional polyurethane foams.  With nearly 60 years of foam manufacturing expertise behind every Trymer L Series product, ITW Insulation Systems offers a history of experience no other rigid foam manufacturer can claim. 

Applications

Trymer L Series foam is produced as bunstock in different densities and strengths for a broad range of applications. 

  • Transportation - Lightweight Trymer L Series products lend strength and durability to the roofs, walls and floor panels of
        trucks and railcars.  Their lightweight and aerodynamic designs also can help improve fuel efficiency.
  • Pultrusion - Owing to the ability of Trymer L Series products to withstand very high temperatures up to 300° F, Trymer core
        foams can be found in insulated doors, bridge girders and decks, and lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant
        enclosures for chemical processing operations.
  • Temporary/Mobile Shelters - Trymer foams are commonly specified as a core material in military shelters and are well-
        suited for insulated sandwich panels in mobile shelters, as well as modular panels for temporary housing, sunrooms,
        conservatories, poultry incubators and livestock pens.
  • Telecommunications Shelters - Trymer L Series core materials answer the call for superior strength and durability in a
        lightweight profile in telecommunications centers worldwide, protecting sensitive telecommunications equipment and
        electronics in severe weather conditions.
  • Cold Storage - Walk-in coolers and freezers, refrigerated warehouses and other temperature-controlled environments benefit
        from the improved strength, exceptional thermal efficiency and moisture resistance of Trymer L Series products.
  • Marine - The high strength-to-weight ratio, superior dimensional stability and the smooth uniform surface of Trymer L Series
        foams makes them the ideal composite materials for stringers, decks, transoms, motor enclosures and hull plugs.

  • Unparalleled Ease of Fabrication and Accuracy

    The superior quality of Trymer core foams is matched only by the caliber of the fabricators, molders and laminators who make up ITW's Authorized Fabricator Network, conveniently and strategically located throughout North America to best meet Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and customer needs.  The consistent cell structure and density of Trymer foam enables simple and accurate Computer Numerical Control (CNC) routing.

    Trymer L Series products offer numerous benefits, such as the following:

  • Better Bonding - Trymer L Series foams are specially engineered for structural sandwich panels and other composite
        applications where adhesion and bonding of facers is critical.  Trymer L Series foam can be precision fabricated for
        compatibility with thermoset resins and most solvent-based adhesives.
  • Improved Handling - Trymer L Series foam is formulated for optimal tooling and machinability.  Compared to other rigid
        foams, Trymer L Series products hold their shape better during fabrication and various manufacturing processes and resist
        breakage during both fabrication and installation.
  • Improved Impact Strength - Available in compressive strengths up to 140 psi (97 kPa), Trymer core materials are able to
        withstand high impact and heavy loads such as those typical in cold storage racking systems, bridge decks, platforms and
        other demanding applications.
  • Improved Structural/Strength Properties - When a core material with high shear, tensile and flexural strength is required for
        long, support-free spans, Trymer L Series products are an excellent choice.
