Product introduction
ACRYLICFOAM® MP
ACRYLICFOAM® is a closed-cell rigid PMI (Polymethacrylimide) foam, which used as the core of lightweight sandwich structure.
MP is an improved and economic grade. It is suitable for medium temperature curing epoxy resin system and suitable (based on density) for various curing processes (Autoclave, vacuum infusion, RTM, VARTM, VARI, HP-RTM, etc.). It also can be easily thermoformed or CNC machined.
The cell size is an important specification of the foam material and determines the difference in the amount of curing resin absorbed during the foam processing. We have divided it according to the cell size in order to better fit the different processing processes.
TYPICAL PROPERTY VALUES
ACRYLICFOAM® MP-FC
FC is a fine cell structure that guarantees a lowest curing resin absorption of up to 50g/㎡, thus reducing the weight of the final product, and is particularly suitable for vacuum infusion and RTM processes.
