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 and is easy to handle. 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
- Width: 1000- 2000mm
