APICAL® Polyimide Film Division

FEP or PTFE Coated or laminated, narrow-width APICAL Polyimide tapes

APICAL® Polyimide Film Is the Right Choice.

In the petroleum industry, submersible down-hole pumps and cables must operate at depths of 20,000 feet, in environments filled with superheated brine, hydrogen sulfide, and petrochemicals, as well as in the arctic cold of the Alaskan oil fields. It’s a hostile world with no room for downtime. And it’s where APICAL® Polyimide delivers space saving smaller cable cross-sections and unprecedented reliability.

Critical properties that make APICAL® Polyimide ideal for this application include its high level of chemical resistance, its thermal cycling durability, its dielectric strength in thin Films, and its exceptional mechanical strength.

More Information

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.
