Product introduction

 

ARCHCELL® WP

ARCHCELL® is a closed-cell rigid PMI (Polymethacrylimide) foam, which used as the core of lightweight sandwich construction.

 

WP (Wave permeability) is a grade specially designed for wave-transparent needs. ARCHCELL®, as a foaming material, actually has a good overall performance in wave transmission, and WP is optimized on this basis, with very low dielectric constant and favorable high frequency transmission characteristics, as well as good elongation at break, making it a good choice for antenna and medical applications. This grade can be compatible with process conditions of 130°C and 0.3 MPa. And it is suitable for various curing processes (autoclave, vacuum infusion, RTM, VARTM, VARI, HP-RTM, etc.). Also, it has good processability and can be easily thermoformed or CNC machined. The fine cell size of this grade and the closed cell structure of the foam ensure a good balance between peel strength and product weight when building sandwich structure parts
