Its fibers are lightweight, breathable and durable and can be easily formed into crush-resistant shapes-ideal for filtration, apparel, insulation and home furnishings.
The sandwich shells with the foam of the highest density, compressive modulus and crushing resistance (Divinycell HCP100) were found to be the most blast resistant to failure even though no energy was absorbed by them.
The agency said it found the reformulated Opana did prove resistant to crushing — abusers typically seek to crush or pulverize the product to release the drug's narcotic payload — but it could still be cut, ground or chewed.
