AVIMID® R

AVIMID® R is a high temperature, 581°F (305°C) Tg, thermoset polyimide resin with good 500°F (260°C) wet and 550°F (288°C) dry service capability. AVIMID R has outstanding thermal oxidative stability, excellent resistance to aircraft fluids and is tough, showing little micro-cracking during severe thermal cycling.

AVIMID R was formulated for prepreg autoclave vacuum bag processing but can be successfully compression molded both as a prepreg and in dry forms as neat resin or chopped-fiber molding compound. Unidirectional tape and woven prepreg of AMIMID R will retain tack and drape for 14 days at 70°F (21°C).

Standard autoclave or compression molding processes, to a final temperature of 680°F (360°C) will result in full Tg development/cure, with no need for any post-cure treatment. AVIMID R can be solution impregnated on a variety of fibers and fabrics.
