Chemical Composition
ROHACELL is manufactured by hot forming of methacrylic acid/methacrylonitrile copolymer sheets. During foaming this copolymer is converted to polymethacrylimide.Information supplied by Emkay Plastics, Ltd
Advantages
- low density grade
- very high strength
- closed-cell rigid expanded plastic material for light weight sandwich construction
- excellent mechanical properties
- high dimensional stability under heat
- solvent resistance
- particularly at low temperature, a low thermal conductivity
- highest strength and moduli values
- highest for any foamed plastic in its density range
