What is Vespel polyimide?

DuPont™ Vespel® Polyimide is an extremely high temperature, creep resistant plastic material that is often used in high heat environments where thermoplastic materials lose their mechanical properties.

What is vespel made of?

SP polyimide resin
The extraordinary properties of Vespel®, a DuPont product made of high-performance SP polyimide resin, make it the optimal choice for tough applications such as parts used in automobiles, heavy-duty off-road equipment, jet engines and semiconductors. Vespel® is not brittle, even at -400° F.

Is vespel a thermoplastic?

Vespel® is a high-performance polyimide-based thermoplastic material with notable characteristics: it withstands wide temperature ranges; it is wear and chemical resistant; it has excellent mechanical and insulation properties; it has natural lubricity; and unlike most polymers, it does not produce significant …

Is vespel RoHS compliant?

RoHS compliant. Made in the USA.

What is polyimide used for?

Polyimides offer excellent mechanical properties and thus find use in applications that demand rugged organic materials, e.g. They are available for use as plastics, films, laminating resins, insulating coatings and high temperature structural adhesives. Polyimides exist in two formats: thermosetting and thermoplastic.

Is Vespel a plastic?

What is polyimide made out of?

imide monomers
Polyimides (PI) are high-performance polymers of imide monomers which contain two acyl groups (C=O) bonded to nitrogen (N). These polymers are known for their high temperature performance in the 400-500°C range as well as chemical resistance.

Is polyimide a plastic?

Polyimide (sometimes abbreviated PI) is a polymer containing imide groups belonging to the class of high-performance plastics. With their high heat-resistance, polyimides enjoy diverse applications in roles demanding rugged organic materials, e.g. high temperature fuel cells, displays, and various military roles.
