Coated
Polyimide Films

Polyimide films and composites are durable, lightweight and designed for demanding performance of various applications including, but not limited to, aerospace, energy, medical and electronics applications.

Used in magnet wire, aircraft power cable, and many other specialty applications, Versiv Coated Polyimide Films are customisable with various surface treatments and coating methods to enhance bondability (mechanically and thermally) and application performance.

Features and Benefits

Dimensionally stable: The toughness of the material ensures retention of stability of shape and size when exposed to heat or moisture, crucial to applications requiring tight tolerances.
Temperature and chemical resistant: High temperatures and chemical resistance ideal for use in extreme environments
Inherently isotropic: Ensures predictable material behaviour essential to safety and efficiency
Cut-through resistant: Polyimides cut-through resistance properties ensure structural integrity maintained while enduring mechanical stress.
High dielectric strength: Essential property in insulating materials in electrical use.
Meets requirements of ASTM D5213 Type II Class A for quality and consistency of materials.
Exceeds UL 94 V-0 flammability: Essential property in demonstrating fire safety.
Relative Thermal Index (RTI) of 235 °C (455 °F) for both electrical and mechanical properties (UL file E231847)
RoHS and REACH compliant: Meeting regulatory requirements around hazardous substances.
