Rigid Polyimide Foam

Mar 17, 2016

Product Name: Rigid Polyimide Foam 

Since 2010, based on theoriginal technology and refer ourself to the international technical standard, SOLVER POLYIMIDE developed a new type of rigid PI foam integratedproduction line has been built, with1000MT annual output. With differentneeds,we can produce the PIfoam of density and intensity. The PI foam has thecharacters of high and low heat resistence, High fire retardent,radiationresistence,wave-transparent,microwave absorpting,anti-corrosion,longlife,excellentcomprehensive properties,the high rate of obturator,easy processing. It can bewidely used in aviation, spaceflight, navigation, transportation, constructionand so on.

This product has past the fireretardancy test in the Yuandong fire experiment center.And the result show thatour material is in well accordance with the technique target of smoke density、toxicity test、low flame-spread combuston heatvalue in《International fire test program application rules》require.The room temperatureemissions、high temperature split product、inhalation toxicity experiments on animals are inaccordance with human bddy health standards after Non metallic materialinspection center of People’s Liberation Army Navy detection.

 

APPLICATIONS:

The application in aerospace

The spherical frame is the air tight cockpit terminal.Andit is the thin-wall construction which is mainly made of ball cover、split-stopping tape、spherical frame edge andsuch components.The spherical frame will produce fatigue crack because of theairtight loading during the airplane ground-sky-ground process.So the keyproblem is how to prevent the airtight cabin fatigue damage.The rigid PIfoamplastic interlayer reinforcement structure can greatly improve the stability ofthe spherical frame and ruduce the weight of the spherical frame.

The rigid PI foam is used as core material of alae nasiparva,flap and airtight bulkhead in aircraft.The rigid PI foam has theextraoridinary fatigue resistence.It can be used in roter on the advanced highperformance helicopter.It can take the load from the roter’s rotation andprolong the life of roter.

 

The application in transportation

The rigid PI foam with the density 52kg/m3,ischaracterized by high strength and high creep resistence.The PI foam as thecomposite core material adopt the co-cure process mading the 5cm carbon diberand PI rein stressed-skin construction which can be used as self-host truckbody Sighificantly reducing the traffic noise.The structure made of tworeinforcing PI rigid foams can produce the bonnet and top cap.

 

The application in ships and warships

(1)The side shell,bulkhead,top of the carbin which havethe requirement of heat insulation,sound insulation.

(2)The cooling pipeline and high temperature steampipeline over 37℃.

(3)The submarine shell and frame part need processing ofsound transmission loss

(4)The submarine and frame parts which do the heat andsteam isolation avoid of the fog.

(5)Cryogenic vessel preservation.

 

Apperance requirements

1.1Surface:The surface should be smooth,the form hole bewell-distributed.

2.2Qualty:Product quality and conditions should beconsistent,clean,no impurities and defects affecting the processing or materialproperties.

1.3Color:The original color unless special provision.

1.4Toxicity:Avirulent,no harm to the skin long-termexposure.

1.5Odour:Odorlessness.

1.6Thickness:Based on the order,the error±5% is permitted.
