PRODUCTS
Whether your key selection criteria is density, processing temperature, cell size or a specific mechanical property performance level, we supply a full line of Rifeng PMI foam products to meet your application requirements.
Rifeng PMI structural foam has been offering the aerospace, radome, automotive industries, medical technology (X-ray tables, CT beds, mammography plates), and other applications boundless possibilities for lightweight construction of parts or products made from high-performance composites. In such applications Rifeng PMI foam core, which is based on polymethacrylimide (PMI), is used as a core between, for example, CFRP facings or as a mandrel. The closed-cell foam uptakes resin only in the exposed cut cells at the surface. This prevents excess resin from infiltrating further into the foam, which avoid add unnecessary weight.
Rifeng PMI foam can be processed by common machining methods which include milling, drilling, turning, and sanding. Rifeng PMI foam can also be thermoformed into simple or complex geometries. All Rifeng PMI foams provide impressive mechanical strength, even at very low densities, and a heat distortion temperature and creep compression strength that is superior to any other rigid foam. For select grades, the properties can be further enhanced by heat-treatment.
