PMI Foam

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
PMI (polymethacrylimide) RS foam is designed for use as a structural core in vacuum infusion processes, commonly applied in aviation, aerospace, and sports equipment to reduce weight. It enables the production of sandwich components in a single step, compatible with autoclave technologies and vacuum infusion processes like RTM and VARTM.

Processing and Production
PMI foam is optimized for vacuum infusion and RTM processes, suitable for temperatures up to 180°C and pressures up to 0.7 MPa after heat treatment. It can be thermoformed or CNC machined, offering manufacturing advantages with high precision and pre-shaped foam cores.

Mechanical Performance
The document provides detailed mechanical properties for different PMI densities (24, 30, 50, 75, 110, 200 kg/m³), including compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus, elongation at break, flexural strength, shear strength, and shear modulus. Temperature resistance is noted at 200°C.

Product Specifications
PMI foam is available in various sizes and thickness ranges, with specific thickness tolerances. Compressive creep testing conditions are specified for different PMI densities.

It is applied in components of aviation, aerospace, sports equipment with resininjection process to reduce the weight. PMI core makes it possible to produce sandwich components in a single step (co-curing), resulting in reduced overall production time. It is highly suitable with autoclave technologies and vacuum infusion processes, including RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) and VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin transfer moulding) processes. Its cell size is small, achieves an optimal compromise between low resin absorption and satisfactory bonding of the facings to the core. Processing and production PMI is especially suitable for vacuum infusion and RTM processes due to its optimized cell structure, where it can be used at temperature up to 180°C with pressure up to 0.7 MPa after heat treatment. Thermoforming and shaping PMI can be easily thermoformed or CNC machined to meet customers’ requirements, bringing tremendous manufacturing advantages. High precision, pre-shaped and ready-to-use foam cores in complex or simple geometries can also be supplied by the Machining Department.
