OVERVIEW of Foamlite® P Lightweight Sheet |
Foamlite® P is a PP-C-based lightweight construction material. With a density of 0.65 g/cm3, Foamlite® P offers clear weight advantages over a sheet made of compact polypropylene at 0.915 g/cm3. The material also has an excellent combination of toughness, high rigidity, strength and chemical resistance. The surface is optionally available with a smooth finish or with a fine grain. Rochling developed the closed-pore foamed material Foamlite® P especially for applications in which construction materials need to have a very low weight and have a high level of mechanical stability. This opens up a wide range of possibilities in lightweight design.
30 per cent lighter than standard solid PP-C Sheets
Foamlite® P lightweight boards are nearly 30 per cent lighter than comparable compact polypropylene sheets. Depending on the application, the lightweight plastic sheet saves on materials, conserves resources and is easy to handle. This gives you completely new possibilities in the design of your application and in dimension in gas well as economic advantages.
Applications: Flight case panels made of Foamlite® lightweight construction material provide for very light and durable plastic flight cases. Whether for concerts, racing or trade fair construction: if high-quality equipment such as event technology, measuring instruments or medical devices need to be securely protected and transported quickly from A to B, robust and lightweight flight cases are required. Flight case made of Foamlite® flight case panels are made with a standard wall thickness of 10 mm (.394"), although Foamlite® flight case panels are available in many sizes, thicknesses and colors. Sheet Thickness Range: 6mm (.236") to 21mm (.827"). Width: up to 2000mm (78.75"). Length: Theoretically unlimited. Surface: Surface grained on both sides with high scratch resistance possible.
