Trelleborg Polyimide Foam - TPI
Thermal and acoustic insulation for the aviation, marine and industrial markets. Trelleborg Polyimide Foams have unrivalled advantages over more traditional insulation materials, making them ideal for solving tough problems aboard marine vessels, aircraft and industrial applications.
Polyimide Foam technology was developed in the 1970's to meet the stringent fire, smoke and toxicity requirements of NASA and the US Navy. During the 1980's Polyimide Foam was certified for use aboard surface and submarine vessels. Today Polyimide Foam is used as the primary insulation aboard virtually all US Navy surface warships and submarines, and is also used or specified for more than 15 navies worldwide.
