New Engineering Plastic for Applications Requiring High Heat Resistance and Dimensional Stability
MANSFIELD, MA — Pyropel® HDT polyamide-imide (PAI) is an engineering plastic designed for thermal/electrical applications requiring high dimensional stability. The material exhibits superior electrical and mechanical performance at continuous use temperatures from -60º to 260ºC.
Pyropel HDT is a fully reacted thermoset offering enhanced properties without the need for post-curing. Fully reacted PAI materials exhibit greater dimensional stability and improved chemical resistance throughout their usable temperature range. Pyropel HDT will not soften or creep like a thermoplastic and has a heat deflection temperature significantly higher than thermoplastics including Ultem®, PEEKâ„¢, and Torlon®.
Pyropel HDT is available in pure form (no fillers) in 12"x 12" plates with thicknesses of 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", and 1" as well as machined parts. Typical applications include: thermal or electrical isolators, bushings, standoffs, plasma cutting/welding insulator parts, and IC test sockets and contactors for semiconductor chip testing.
