Bismaleimide (BMI)
A high-temperature addition-cure thermoset widely used between toughened epoxy and polyimide service ranges.
In simple terms
A high-temperature addition-cure thermoset widely used between toughened epoxy and polyimide service ranges.
Best for
Hot/wet aerospace structures, jet-engine surroundings and long-term elevated-temperature use.
Watch out for
High cure/post-cure temperature, brittleness without modification, cost and specialist prepreg handling.
Typical applications
Aircraft engine structures, high-speed airframes, space hardware and hot tooling.
