The first con- tract involves adapting the compa- ny's Solimide® foam, a flexible, fire- resistant polyimide insulating mate- rial, for use in submarine hull con- struction. The second involves mod- ifying the basic Solimide polyimide technology to produce a high-tem- perature coating for use in naval air- craft. Solimide foam was chosen by the Navy for its outstanding fire safety and lightness, in combination with its excellent insulating qualities and durability. Developed in part under a research grant from NASA, it is now in use in a wide variety of appli- cations, including acoustical and thermal insulation, as fire barriers, vibration damping, and in cryogenic applications. Seeking a thermal insulator and a water vapor barrier that is also flame-resistant and light, the Navy selected Solimide foam for develop- ment as a submarine hull insulation. Unlike other materials currently in use, polyimide foam will not con- tribute to flame spread in a submar- ine fire, and it produces extremely low levels of smoke and combustion gases in a fire. In addition, at one- fifth to one-tenth the weight of cur- rently used materials, the weight saving, and thus performance im- provement, is significant.
