APICAL
Polyimide film is used in a wide range of unusual applications
due to its unique high and low operating temperature capability.
These applications include: bar code labels, speaker coils,
spiral wrapped tubing, gaskets and diaphragms, aircraft
shim stock, space blankets, nuclear linear accelerator
insulation, carrier and transport belts, and sensors.
There is no end to the new applications that are found
every day for this exceptional high performance polymer
film!
The
primary film properties that make APICAL Polyimide the
material of choice in high end applications include:
 No
melt point, and will not sustain or propagate flame (UL"
94-VO rating).
Can
be used in applications from -270°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 acids, solvents, lubricants,
and hydrocarbons. (It is, however, susceptible to degradation
by strong bases).
Excellent
electrical properties (high dielectric strength, good
dielectric constant, and low dissipation factor).
High
thermal dimensional stability, low shrinkage at elevated
temperatures to 400°C.
Good
adhesion to a wide range of adhesive systems (e.g. silicons,
acrylics, polyimides, FEP, PTFE, PFA, epoxies and modified
epoxies, phenolics).
High
radiation resistance.
Excellent
flexural durability.
