OPTIMAL CELL STRUCTURE FOR VACUUM INFUSION
CASCELL® RS
We have specially developed CASCELL® RS for use as a structural core in connection with vacuum infusion processes. Its
mechanical and thermomechanical properties are similar to those of CASCELL® WH. Its cell size, however, represents an optimal
compromise between low resin uptake-about 50% less than for CASCELL® WH-and satisfactory bonding of the facings to the foam
core.
It is used for infusion components in aerospace applications and in sports equipment and automotive structures.
Its optimized cell structure makes CASCELL® RS particularly suitable for vacuum infusion and RTM processes, where it allows
safe and stable processing. After heat treatment (HT) of CASCELL® RS, CASCELL® RS-HT can even tolerate curing temperatures
of 180°C at a pressure of 0.7 MPa.

SHAPING SERVICES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In our Shapes department we offer a variety of shaping service options and a team to support you on incorporating CASCELL®
foam cores efficiently into any of your designs.
ENJOY THE ADVANTAGES OF READY-TO-USE FOAM CORES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our team is equipped to produce net-shaped foam cores with high precision, to any geometry you require. This can be done
either by CNC machining or thermoforming. Our Shape Departments are equipped with multiple 5-axis large format CNC
machines and multi-spindle CNC machines. Cashem's in-house experts can advise on economical options for bonding,
thermoforming and CNC machining of shapes for your applications. Advice on pre-process management is also available,
including moisture management, drying, heat treatment and FOD control. Plus, we can set up your logistics plan to make sure
you receive your shapes "just-in-time" and "ready-to-use" with an optimized packaging concept designed just for you.
If you are interested in thermoforming your parts, we can support you with conventional thermoforming with high
temperature tooling, thermoforming with low temperature tooling or thermoshaping with compression.
