SOLIMIDE® Foam Characteristics

SOLIMIDE polyimide foams are a family of high performance thermal and acoustic insulation products that possess significant advantages over traditional insulation materials, making them the products of choice for solving tough problems aboard marine vessels, aircraft, spacecraft and in industries worldwide.  

Flame Resistant: Inherently fire resistant SOLIMIDE foams emit virtually no smoke or incapacitating toxic byproducts when exposed to open flame.  

Light Weight: SOLIMIDE foams are extremely lightweight. In transportation applications, this translates into fuel savings and extra payload capacity.

Wide Temperature Operating Range: SOLIMIDE foams remain functional when exposed to extremes of cold and heat that would degrade competitive polymer foams. With a temperature operating range of -196C to +300C, the foams maintain their flexibility even at cryogenic temperatures.

Environmentally Friendly: This non-fibrous insulation requires no special handling. No halogens, heavy metals, formaldehyde or ozone-depleting chemicals are used in the manufacture of SOLIMIDE polyimide foams.

Durable and Easy to Install: SOLIMIDE foams show significantly greater resistance to damage than traditional fibrous insulation products and are easier and more cost effective to handle and install. They maintain their integrity after long-term usage in a vibrating environment. Polyimide foams also have a high degree of chemical stability and are resistant to hydrocarbons, alcohols and non-concentrated acids.
