More stability with Foamlite® P HM
New version offers a higher stability
Röchling Industrial has expanded its lightweight construction portfolio with a new version of the material Foamlite®. The new material offers higher stability with a low weight at the same time.
If high mechanical stability and low weight are required at the same time, Foamlite® has been a reliable material for years. The closed-pore, foamed plastic sheet offers designers a wide range of options, particularly in lightweight construction.
The new version Foamlite® P HM has a more than 60 percent higher stability compared to the standard material. Foamlite® P HM is a lightweight sheet based on PP-C.
Röchling has tested the stability according to DIN EN ISO 527:
Material Unit
Foamlite® P 1100 MPa
Foamlite® P HM 1800 MPa
Technical data of Foamlite® P HM:
- More than 60 percent higher stability compared to Foamlite® P
- Thermal expansion coefficient: thermal expansion is 21 percent lower than the standard product Foamlite® P
- Density: 0.7 g / cm³ according to DIN EN ISO 1183-1
- Screw pull-out values / pull-off strength: 3420 N
- No water absorption, no rotting, no swelling
Like the Foamlite® P lightweight sheets, the new material Foamlite® P HM is almost 30 percent lighter than comparable compact sheets. Depending on the application, the lightweight sheet enables material savings, is resource-saving and easy to handle. This execution of Foamlite remains 100% recyclable. The agricultural industry and the flight case construction industry have already proven to be ideal application areas.
Product line
Foamlite® P HM is available in almost any color. The material can be supplied on request with a smooth or fine embossed surface. Foamlite® P HM can also be deliverd in a slip-resistant design with the special "cubic grain" surface structure. The material is available in many dimensions and thicknesses:
- Sheet thickness: 6 - 20 mm
