New BMI tooling and component matrix systems

Advanced Composites Group Ltd. (ACG), a member of the Composites Division of Umeco plc, announced on the 5th of February 2010 the launch of two new additions to it range of Bismaleimide (BMI) matrix systems. The new matrix systems, which offer superior handling, performance and high temperature capability, are aimed at the structural tooling and component markets.

HTM® 556, developed specifically for structural applications where high service temperatures are required, offers continuous service temperatures of 200°C (392°F). HTM556 also offers improved toughness and resistance to micro-cracking which has long been a short falling of Bismaleimide resins.

HTM®515-1 is a Bismaleimide matrix system optimized for tooling applications. HTM515-1 offers similar improvements in handling and can tolerate thermal cycling to 250°C (480°F).

HTM515-1 also exhibits improved toughness and resistance to micro cracking leading to improved vacuum integrity and extended tool life.
