Sorbermide
Extremely lightweight, high performance Insulation
high performance ultralight acoustic and thermal insulation polyimide foam
Sorbermide® A and Sorbermide® T are one of the lightest and flexible polyimide foams in the market, offering a unique combination of excellent sound-proofing and thermal insulation performance with high fire properties. Sorbermide A and Sorbermide T were engineered to meet market requirements for lightweight, high-performance, acoustic and thermal insulation material for demanding industrial environments.
Being extremely light-weight, Sorbermide foam is suited to weight-sensitive applications and high-speed crafts including those in the Marine, Military, Aerospace and Railway industries. Substantial weight-savings to these crafts and vehicles enhance their cost, energy and fuel efficiency. It is also an ideal choice for duct and piping insulation
Sorbermide® is non-fibrous, free from VOC and offers a durable alternative to other lightweight and fibrous insulation materials.
Applications
- Navy: submarines, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, minehunters
- Commercial marine: high-speed yachts, ferries
- Military armoured vehicles, personnel carriers
- Railway cars and passenger locomotives
- Aircraft (Sorbermide® T)
- Mining vehicles
- Automotive engine bays, cabin, and cavity linings
- High temperature environments, insulation in ovens
- Ducting, duct/piping insulation, structural components, and strengthening of hollow components
- Low outgassing properties makes the product an ideal choice for use in sensitive electronic, medical and analytical instruments
