Apical® Polyimide Film Division

APICAL's® Quality Is a Priority

APICAL® Polyimide Film Is the Right Choice.

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. APICAL® Polyimide is also certified to ISO 9001:2015 requirements.

Cleanliness isn’t just another requirement when producing APICAL® Polyimide Film, it’s an absolute priority. The process is enclosed in a Class 10,000 clean room and any person entering this production area must first suit up with protective clothing and enter an air shower to ensure that no possible contamination enters the area.

The resulting Polyimide Film is monitored through automatic gauge control and 100% inspected with optical defect detection equipment. Depending upon customer requirements, APICAL® Polyimide may then be slit into smaller widths prior to packaging.

Because the Polyimide Film is cast and thermally cured slowly and precisely, there’s more time for it to harden evenly with less residual stress than other Polyimide Films. As a result, more uniform film thickness and across-the-web property uniformity provide the user with a superior Polyimide Film.

Certification

APICAL® Polyimide Films are certified to ASTM D5213, for all types, IPC specification 4202/1, for AV type and NP type film. Written certification is available with delivery upon request

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.
