FPF-44

Scientists at Langley Research Center created polyimide foam insulation
for reusable cryogenic propellant tanks on the space shuttle.
Meanwhile, a small Hialeah, Florida-based business, PolyuMAC Inc., was
looking for advanced foams to use in the customized manufacturing of
acoustical and thermal insulation. The company contacted NASA, licensed
the material, and then the original inventors worked with the company's
engineers to make a new material that was better for both parties. The
new version, a high performance, flame retardant, flexible polyimide
foam, is used for insulating NASA cryogenic propellant tanks and shows
promise for use on watercraft, aircraft, spacecraft, electronics and
electrical products, automobiles and automotive products, recreation
equipment, and building and construction materials.
