Divinycell is a swedish product, widely used among boatyards in
scandinavia and around the world. We used it on our boat, cant complain.
Airex has better elastic properties, if top quality impact resistance is
wanted I would use Airex. Divinycell is a good quality structural foam.
Divinycell has different qualities too but I have no experience on them.
Our balestron boom is made of 100kg/m2 Divinycell foam and Amroy
Hybtonite epoxy.
