Product Features
Product Benefits
  • Moldable - permitting the formation of both thick and thin complex core shapes
  • Increased productivity – a high number of releases are possible and the low amount of residuals reduces the frequency of tool cleaning
  • Great flow behaviour allows complex core moldings with short cure times in density ranges between 150-300kg/m³
  • Outstanding property balance for reliable process performance with low resin penetration at in-mold pressures up to 35 bars
  • Core surface ready for overmolding with composite resins which exhibit very good adhesion without the need for surface treatment
Product Highlights

RIMLINE® FC polyurethane system can enable a cost-effective solution for sandwich composite structures.
This material can withstand the high in-mold pressures associated with modern production processes, without collapsing - helping to improve manufacturing efficiencies and reduce waste.
