Type NP Polyimide Film
APICAL® Polyimide Film Is the Right Choice.
APICAL® Type NP Polyimide Film is a tough aromatic Polyimide Film especially designed for applications where superior dimensional stability is essential, such as flexible printed circuits and tape automated bonding. This superior dimensional stability is achieved by having a controlled coefficient of thermal expansion (matches that of copper over normal processing conditions).

Quality
Industries who depend upon APICAL® Polyimide Film benefit not only from a carefully designed product, but from the process behind it as well. Unlike many film manufacturers, APICAL® Polyimide process technology is driven by quality not speed.
Performance
In spite of being lighter in weight than many of the materials it has replaced, the overall performance of APICAL® Polyimide surpasses them. Its high degree of dimensional stability allows it to be wrapped tightly for applications where space is a premium. It is tough, highly resistant to tearing, abrasion and puncture.
Technical Data
APICAL® Polyimide Films possess an excellent balance of physical, thermal, electrical, and chemical properties over a wide range of temperatures for flexible printed circuits, tape automated bonding, motor generator insulation, wire and cable insulation, pressure sensitive tape and other uses.
