Cascell,PMI foam manufacturers,Cashem Advanced Materials Hi-tech Co.,Ltd is the first company
to specialize in manufacturing PMI foam and cascell in China
Cashem Advanced Materials Hi-tech Co.,Ltd is a famous Cascell,PMI foam manufacturers,our
company was established in 2010,depending on to the technology and R&D platform of Institude
of chemistry, Chinese Acadmy of sciences (ICCAS), committed to the industrialization of
Polymethacrylimide ( PMI) strucural foam, achieving complete localization of high performance
PMI foam
"Joint Laboratory of Novel Polymer Materials" was built relying on strong technical strength of
ICCAS on basic research of high-tech material and rich experience of Cashem on engineering
transformation,together organized an R&D team full of innovation centralizing advantages to
promote R&D and industrialization,providing high performance Cascell PMI foam and unreserved
services to customers.
Cashem Advanced Materials Hi-tech Co.,Ltd, which has 54,000,000RMB registered capital, was
established in 2010, it becomes the first company to specialize in manufacturing PMI foam in
China. Now Cashem has the ability to produce 3000 m3 PMI foam every year, the second phase
of the project which can provide 5000 m3 capacity is under construction.
Depending on the technology of Institude of chemistry, Chinese Academy of science(ICCAS),
Cashem established a R&D team which contains more than 10 masters to focus on the
industrialization and serialization study of PMI foam, already get the ability to produce PMI foam
from preparation of the raw materials to products application. Company also carried on lots of
governmental major project, such as “ 863 ” project, the ministry of science and technology
innovation and entrepreneurship fund, Major science and technology projects of Zhejiang
province (2013, 2017).
Cashem passed the quality management system ISO9001, environmental management system
ISO14001, occupational health and safety management system certification OHSAS18001 and
relevant qualification of defense military industry in 2013.
Cascell? structural foam is 100% closed-cell, rigid polymethacrylimide(PMI)foam, its application
fields are as follows:
Cascell? WH aerospace structural core material, like rocket fairing, aircraft elevator, wing rafter.
Cascell? RS
similar to WH, aerospace structural core material, more suitable for liquid resin
forming technology；
Cascell? HF
High frequency and wave type, especially suitable for radar, antenna cover, such as
phased array radar；
Cascell? IH
industrial grade PMI foam, outstanding high cost performance, such as high-speed
railway, medical bed board, sports equipment and so on;
Cascell? FR
Flame retardant PMI foam, combine with high performance and high penetration
wave, such as radome, aviation interior, ship, etc;
AEROSPACE&AVIATION
Nowadays the development of aerospace industry needs much more strict demand on the life
cycle cost and weight reduction. One of the crucial challenges is making a structure as light as
possible without sacrificing its strength. Composites, particularly carbon fiber-reinforced plastic
(CFRP), has been used in aircraft designing for years. sandwich structures are the preferable
choice for such designs. PMI foam, which is the best suitable structural core material because of
its excellent properties, has long been used in the aerospace industry.
Cashem ’ s high performance PMI foam core Cascell? can meets the requirements from the
market. Cascell? WH and Cascell?RS provide optimized cell size for resin absorption and
mechanical properties, the correspondent composites can be made through autoclave, RTM or
heat molding. It is able to withstand the curing temperature of 180 ℃ and compressions of
0.8Mpa without significant creep. The high-temperature resistance of PMI foam also enables the
co-curing with the carbon or glass fiber, which dramatically reduce the production time.
Application
AUTOMOTIVE
Countries from all over the world have given the deadline for the abandoning the fuel vehicles.
Environment issue and the shortage of fossil energy force the government to make the decision,
the lightweight of automobile have become the primary direction for auto makers.
The advantages of sandwich composite solutions in automobile are obvious. Lighter designs
result in lower fuel consumption, higher payloads and longer range, which all having a positive
influence on the environment. Composite materials are also more durable. The PMI-based
structural foam Cascell? saves enormous weight in car bodies.
PMI foam can be used in such an application because of the properties below:
Easily be shaped into 3D geometry with CNC or thermoforming process；
Composites parts can be manufactured by Autoclave, Vacuum bagged, RTM, and VARI, etc.；
Superb resin absorption due to the fine cell size, the excellent balance between mechanical
properties and light-weight can be obtained.
MEDICAL APPARATUS
X-ray and CT scans are used in the clinical diagnosis to inspect the body, in order to obtain the
high definition images, increasing the dose of radiation is adapted, but the exposure to radiation
has big risk of developing cancer or other diseases.
PMI foam owns lower aluminum equivalent, it means it can get sharper image under smaller
dose of radiation, X-ray and CT scans tables, which use PMI as the sandwich structure foam core,
dramatically reduces the radiation exposure in diagnostic procedures.
Besides the protection for patients against the radiation, high specific strength of PMI foam
makes the medical beds conveniently handled by the
operator.
