A PMI-based Core material

HyboCORE® based on PMI have proven their worth, particularly at high processing temperature and pressure. They are very easily process and provide considerable cost saving in composite manufacturing.

Property of HyboCORE ®:

• A polymer cell foam, based on Poly Methacrylic Imide(PMI).
• Free from CFC.
• Homogenous and isotropic.
• 100% closed cell.

 

HyboCORE® is a kind of rigid foam based on poly (methyl methacrylate), which is free of halogen. The product has a small and uniform pore size (0.1mm-0.3 mm).

Excellent Ductibility

In particular, HyboCORE® has excellent Elongation at break. Compared with the traditional PMI foam 4-5%, HyboCORE® can up to 10%. Under the premise of ensuring the basic foam mechanical properties, it greatly improves the foam toughness, and optimized the conventional confliction of processing performance and impact strength. HyboCORE® can withstand the shock absorption / concentration load, to ensure the integrity of sandwich structure under impact, and expand the damage tolerance and damage visibility of composite structures.

 

Free to Processing

HyboCORE® can withstand the maximum 150°C temperature and maximum pressure of 0.5MPa, and suitable for middle temperature co-curing processing. In order to adapt to the different sizes and shape of the workpieces, HyboCORE® can be easily shaped in press-molding, and bonded with variety of adhesive, or common CNC machine freely.
