Aircraft & Aerospace
FEP or PTFE Coated or laminated, narrow-width APICAL® Polyimide tapes
APICAL® Polyimide Film Is the Right Choice.
APICAL® Polyimide Film is used as the material of choice in wire and cable insulation in commercial and military aircraft, space vehicles, satellites, and missiles. FEP- or PTFE — coated or laminated, narrow-width APICAL® Polyimide tapes produce insulation that offers superior heat-sealability, and improved abrasion and cut-through resistance, combined with excellent dielectric and thermal properties.
Particularly important to commercial aircraft manufacturers is the virtually smokeless characteristics of APICAL® Polyimide when exposed to flame — it is UL -94VO rated. APICAL® Polyimide is also certified to meet all requirements of ASTM D5213 and IPC 4201/1. It has a UL Thermal Index for continuous operation of 200°C-240°C, but still retains most of its electrical integrity when exposed for brief periods to temperature as high as 400°C.
The lightweight, mechanical toughness and extraordinary thermal cycling range of APICAL® Polyimide help ensure dependable electrical and electronic operation from take-off to landing. That makes APICAL® Polyimide the right choice for aircraft and aerospace.
