What densities of PVC foam are used in marine construction?

Typically 60–250 kg/m³ depending on structural load requirements.

Do foam cores help reduce noise from wind blades?

Indirectly, by maintaining aerodynamic shape and stiffness.

What is shear web construction?

A vertical structural beam inside the blade that increases[…]

Are foam cores affected by UV exposure?

No, since they are enclosed within composite laminates.

What is hybrid core construction?

Combining different foams or foam + balsa to optimize[…]
