PMI (Polymethacrylimide) COMING SOON
Available Soon With The Grunt!
PMI foam, a rigid polymethacrylimide syntactic, powers the Combat Paddle's elite inserts, offering aerospace-grade stiffness for maximum drive and pop. Its uniform open-cell structure minimizes resin absorption in composites, ensuring lightweight rigidity.
Key scientific properties include:
- Density: 30–75 kg/m³, balancing low weight with structural integrity (e.g., 75 kg/m³ for pro-level cores).
- Compressive Strength: 0.40 MPa at 30 kg/m³ to 1.68–7.48 MPa at denser grades, outperforming comparable foams by 15–20% in shear and tension.
- Young's Modulus: 38 MPa at low density to 102.9–187 MPa at higher, with temperature-stable compression (e.g., 1.87 MPa at 75 kg/m³) for unwavering performance.
In pickleball, PMI's high modulus translates to explosive energy return—up to 95% rebound efficiency—ideal for baseline smashes, while its solvent and heat resistance (stable to 180°C) endures humid courts. Research highlights 15% superior compressive strength over PVC alternatives, reducing flex for pinpoint accuracy. Modularly, PMI enables "pro-tune" swaps for power users, its density-modulus synergy allowing stiff cores that store/release energy faster than softer foams, yet integrate seamlessly for hybrid control-power profiles.
