Evonik Rohacell® 51 Polymethacrylimide (PMI) Rigid Foam Sheet  (discontinued **)
Categories: Other Engineering Material; Composite Core Material; Polymer; Thermoset; Polymethacrylimide
Material Notes: ROHACELL 51 is a low density grade and a very high strength:weight ratio.

General ROHACELL Information: ROHACELL is a closed-cell rigid expanded plastic material for lightweight sandwich construction. It has excellent mechanical properties, high dimensional stability under heat, solvent resistance and, particularly at low temperature, a low thermal conductivity. The strength and moduli values are the highest are the highest for any foamed plastic in its density range. ROHACELL is manufactured by hot forming of methacrylic acid/methacrylonitrile copolymer sheets. During foaming this copolymer is converted to polymethacrylimide.
