Description
ROHACELL® HE foam core is engineered for use in applications which demand superior impact resistance and enhanced elongation at break from composite structure.
Based on polymethacrylimide (PMI) chemistry, ROHACELL® HE is engineered to meet rigorous demands of various applications from across several markets, such as Industrial, Transportation, Sports, Marine which make sandwich components in a single step process (co-curing).
ROHACELL® HE foam cores offers outstanding thermal & mechanical properties, especially under compressive and shear load at low, room and elevated temperature required in demanding applications with substantial dynamic mechanical loads These attributes also make it a great choice for making process efficiencies to reduce cycle times which helps to lower cost to manufacture.
WEIGHT SAVINGS
ROHACELL® HE features a fine cell structure giving it a smooth surface finish that reduces resin uptake while still maintaining a good adhesion to face sheet. This improvement boosts process efficiency, leading to the creation of innovative, cost-effective and reliable new products.
FAST AND EFFICIENT PROCESSING
Excellent thermal stability facilitates processing up to 180 °C (356 °F)|130 °C (266 °F) under pressure in all common processes like resin transfer molding, vacuum infusion, prepreg and autoclave curing, compression molding and hand lay-up. ROHACELL® HE is easy to shape by CNC machining, thermoforming or thermoshaping techniques.
