BMI-5000

DESCRIPTION:

BMI-5000 is an imide-extended bismaleimide oligomer that exhibits excellent toughness in the cured stated with an intermediate cross-link density.  It is soluble in aromatic solvents.  It is an amber, waxy solid at room temperature and can be cast as a hot melt or from solution to form pliable, non-tacky films.  This maleimide functional  oligomer can be cured thermally, via UV irradiation, or in the presence of free-radical initiators to form a tough thermoset.  BMI-5000 is supplied as a 50% solids solution in toluene.  It can also be supplied as a powdered solid or in alternative solvents.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Low cross-link density
• Non-tacky
• Film-forming
• Maleimide functional oligomer
• Cures to a tough thermoset
• Additive to enhance toughness in thermoset compositions

RECOMMENDED USE:

BMI-5000 is recommended for use as an additive to increase flexibility, hydrophobicity and thixotropy.  It has excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates.  When used as a base resin, it can produce films that are tough, flexible and demonstrate good peel strength.
