Industrial-grade performance for versatile, reliable results

ROHACELL® 51 IG/IG-F

At 52 kg/m³, ROHACELL® 51 IG/IG-F sits between 31 IG/IG-F and 71 IG/IG-F in the ROHACELL® IG/IG-F range.

ROHACELL® IG-F structural foam is a closed-cell rigid foam based on polymethacrylimide (PMI) chemistry and contains no CFC's. The “IG” in ROHACELL® IG-F stands for “Industrial grade.” It is the standard product in our range of rigid foam products and is suitable for a wide variety of automotive, medical and industrial applications. The “F” in ROHACELL® IG-F indicates the foam’s fine cell structure that will take up only minimal resin at the surface where the cells have been cut open. Less resin take-up during part processing means less final part weight and overall cost.
