Description

The Industrial Grade PMI Foam is a high performance composite foam core material with three types of fine, coarse and ultra-fine porosity. It has the characteristics of high strength, high specific modulus and high closed cell rate, which can be well used for fiber prepreg molding, autoclave molding and other processes to shorten the overall production time. In addition the product has good weatherability and can withstand harsh working environments, and after heat treatment can even be cured at 180°C and 0.7 MPa pressure.

Features 

Our Industrial Grade PMI Foam has good sound, heat and moisture insulation properties because of its high closed porosity and fine, uniform bubbles, which can be maintained in a stable state during processing. Moreover, it has the feature of easy bonding and can be well applied to epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester and other resin systems to achieve high bonding strength. At the same time, it is easy to process and can be bent into various curved surfaces under heating conditions, and its unique molecular structure makes it have good fatigue resistance, especially for composite sandwich structures under dynamic loads.
