Sandwich Construction
* Styrene Acrylo Nitrile (SAN) is used in areas where high impact is prevalent, such as hull bottoms and sides, e.g., Core-Cell.
* Non-cross-linked or "linear" PVC (L PVC) e.g., Airex® R63, is used in the same areas as SAN.
* Polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam are used in acoustical and insulation panels, structural insulation panels (SIP) and parts like stringers [11]. <ref>Foam Core Materials in the Marine Industry, Trevor Gundberg, Composite Materials Engineer, DIAB Inc., BoatDesign, http://www.boatdesign.net/articles/foam-core/</ref> These foams are water resistant, meaning they will absorb some water, around 5%, and encourage mildew.
