PMI Foam Market: Introduction

Free radical copolymerization of butyl methacrylate and methacrylamide copolymer leads to formation of PMI foam. PMI foam in majorly used in the aerospace and defense industry due to various properties including high strength-to-weight ratio, high strength, thermal performance, fire retardancy, creep resistance, and dimensional stability, which increase product life cycle and its efficiency.

PMI foam are used for manufacturing blades used for the large wind turbines are made from different low weight composites. These blades are manufacture by combining glass-reinforced epoxy/polyester and core materials. PMI foam is effectively used in onshore and offshore turbine blades. Closed cell and low density properties of PMI foam reduces the scales down resin absorption and resin uptake in comparison with balsa and various other foam cores.

PMI foam offer various properties including creep resistance and good thermoforming capacity, which makes it suitable for utilize in manufacturing various sporting goods including skis, snowboards, hockey sticks, racing bicycle wheels, and surfboards. Adoption of PMI foam in manufacturing sports products make them durable and lightweight with better mechanical properties. PMI foam has high weight-reduction potential thus utilized in rail and automotive applications.
