APICAL's® High Performance

APICAL® Polyimide Film Is the Right Choice.

In spite of being lighter in weight than many of the materials it has replaced, the overall performance of APICAL® Polyimide surpasses them. The primary Film properties that make APICAL Polyimide the material of choice in high tech applications include:

  • No melt point or glass transition temperature.
  • Will not sustain or propagate flame.
  • Can be used in applications from -269°C to 400°C while still maintaining mechanical and electrical integrity.
  • Excellent mechanical properties, high abrasion and cut-through resistance.
  • Excellent chemical resistance to most organic solvents, acids, lubricants, and hydrocarbons.
  • Excellent electrical properties.
  • Superb thermal dimensional stability to 400°C.
  • Good adhesion to a wide array of adhesive systems.
  • High radiation resistance.
  • Excellent flexural durability.
