Designer Molecules BMI-5000 Toluene is an imide-extended bismaleimide oligomer that exhibits excellent toughness in the cured state 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. The material can also be supplied as a solid slab, powdered solid or in alternative solvents.
