Rostec will release an innovative foam for spaceships and not only


Information publication “TASS” with reference to the press service of the state corporation “Rostec” reports that an innovative foam called “Acrimid” has already been sent to mass production in Russia – in the future it will be used in the production of spacecraft, as well as in aviation industry and in the creation of land technology.

“The production volume has now reached about one ton per quarter. The material is supplied to 35 domestic enterprises of instrument making, mechanical engineering, aviation and space industries, ”said employees of the Rostec state corporation.

It is worth noting that a foam plastic that is unique in its kind was developed at the Research Institute of Polymers – this organization is part of the holding of the state corporation “Rostec”. Moreover, the serial production of innovative material also takes place on the basis of this research institute. And the main feature of the innovative material is that it has high heat resistance, excellent strength parameters, and this foam is also resistant to chemical attack. Accordingly, the structural foam sheet created at the Research Institute will be used as a lightweight filler in the production of various parts of a multilayer structure.

For example, for the inner skin and load-bearing elements of airplanes, helicopters, engine fairings, for filling a variety of hull elements of unmanned vehicles. The employees of the research institute also noted that the new material can be used even in the construction of hull elements in the field of shipbuilding, in the production of radar equipment, in the design of the defense industry complex and not only. At the moment, innovative foam is already being used in the development of Roscosmos and other other government organizations.
