Materials of Interest - RP46 Polyimide

RP46 PERFORMANCEWith a continuous operating temperature rangefrom -150ºF to +675ºF and the ability towithstand super-hot spikes up to +1,500ºF,RP46 is ideal for many aerospace applicationsrequiring BOTH weight reduction AND highperformance.RP46 exhibits high mechanical strength andstructural durability at elevated temperatures.It also features significantly less moistureabsorption and is therefore less susceptibleto moisture induced damage.RP46 demonstrates excellent thermal oxidativestability and resistance to microcracking.AvailabilityDesigned as a superior alternative to existingpolyimides, RP46 is available as a liquid forprepreg of carbon, glass or quartz fabric; oras a powder for compression molding hightemperature bearings, slip rings or races.RP46 Polyimide Homepage"Kilogram for kilogram, RP46 is stronger thanaluminum, steel or even titanium."~ from :Thermoset Resinsby K.
