Exousia integrates its advanced materials into various composite products and structural panels that it markets to a wide range of industries. Composite products allow Exousia to market its advanced materials directly into key application markets. These products include E-CORE Structural Foam™ ands TRUSS CORE™ Structural Components.

E-CORE™ Structural Foam
E-CORE™ integrates urethane foam, carbon spheres and VISTAMER® Rubber engineered particles into a composite foam material that is typically formed into sheets. These sheets can then be laminated to RPA or other materials. The result is a composite structural panel that is highly competitive in applications where plywood or similar materials are used, such as marine decking. E-CORE panels are far lighter than plywood, yet provide a strong, high-impact material that is moisture resistant. It also provides excellent protection against harsh weather and UV radiation.

A unique building material, E-CORE avoids the wood preservatives of marine plywood, such as MDA, which are toxic to the environment and occasionally poisonous. E-CORE also competes directly against is Fiberglass Reinforced Plywood, or FRP. FRP panels are used in a wide range of automotive and marine applications in which E-CORE may provide significant competitive advantages.

E-CORE is manufactured in 4’ x 8’ sheets in thicknesses up to 2” and employs the same fastening methods used for plywood, thereby allowing it to be a solution for a wider range of applications. It may also be custom-manufactured with application-specific surfaces (i.e. non-skid), and in a variety of colors.

TRUSS CORE™ Structural Components
TRUSS CORE™ is an RPA-based structural core. In the manufacturing process, sheets of RPA are vacuum-pulled into an open honey-comb structure. The TRUSS CORE sheets are then laminated on both faces with RPA sheets to produce structural panels with substantial strength relative to weight. This strength is derived from a structural design similar to I-beam construction. The resulting sandwich-composite configuration makes TRUSS CORE highly impact- and deflection-resistant, in addition to having superior compressive and shear strength, wear resistance and durability. TRUSS CORE is also UV- and moisture-resistant.

There are numerous applications for TRUSS CORE, especially in the marine and transportation sectors. One ideal application for TRUSS CORE is the construction of commercial truck “boxes” where its performance benefits of high strength, wear resistance and low relative weight are critical.
