Rohacell® is a polymethacrylimide structural foam which is extensively used in the aerospace, marine, automotive and medical industries offering lightweight machined parts.
Pronat offers comprehensive manufacturing capabilities to produce core structures up to 1.25M wide and 2.5M long. In addition, we have suitable heating ovens and measuring devices to ensure consistent quality production. There are various Rohacell® grades available designed for specific applications, some of these are shown.
ROHACELL® HF is a closed-cell rigid foam with extremely low dielectric constants and particularly favourable transmission properties in the high frequency region, ROHACELL® HF has been specially designed for antenna applications. Applications range from miniature antennas in cell phones to large fixed ship-based and stationary antenna structures. Other advantages of ROHACELL® HF in such applications are its extremely fine cell structure that ensures minimal resin uptake, and problem-free compatibility with metallic facing materials due to the absence of corrosive effects. It is also used in Radoms and mammography plates.

ROHACELL® WF is a closed-cell rigid foam which has been designed for use primarily in aerospace applications. It satisfies the usual industry requirements and also the MIL and CMS ROHACELL® WF rigid foam can be processed at pressures of up to 0.7 MPa and temperatures of up to 130°C. It is therefore highly suited for autoclave prepreg processing and all typical resin infusion after heat treatment, ROHACELL® WF can even tolerate curing temperatures of 180°C at a pressure of 0.7 MPa. ROHACELL® WF is easy to shape with CNC routing equipment.

ROHACELL® HERO delivers the latest in materials technology for composite aircraft structures that are lightweight, durable over their lifetime and less expensive to produce. Offering excellent elongation at break properties, ROHACELL® HERO remains robust and durable for the lifetime of the aircraft.
No other core material offers such ease of processing in a wide variety of processes, including autoclave, resin infusion, RTM and VARTM. With heat resistance of up to 220 °C, processing or curing temperatures can be increased higher than other core materials allow (e.g., typical cure cycle at 180 °C/0.7 MPa acceptable). This results in significant reductions in total cycle time and faster part manufacturing.
ROHACELL® HERO is a recommended grade for core material in sandwich structures for aircraft wings, landing gear doors, radoms, vertical and horizontal stabilizers, ailerons and other areas subject to surface impact damage.
