Polyimide Film is resistant to alkali solutions and steam.
Press Release Summary:
Used for capacitors, insulation, and PCBs, polyimide film features chemical structure that promotes hydrolytic stability and resistance to heat, radiation, and flammability. It also exhibits resistance to smoke emission, creep, and wear. While able to be used in aerospace applications, other areas of use include engine components, bearings, and mechanical parts exposed to radiation.
Original Press Release:
Chemically Distinct Polyimide Film Offers Enhanced Resistance to Alkali Solutions and Steam
Oakdale, PA ... April 19, 2007 ... Goodfellow Corporation announces the availability of a polyimide film with a chemical structure that provides greater hydrolytic stability (e.g., resistance to steam) and better resistance to alkali solutions than other commercially available grades of polyimide. These features, in combination with the exceptional properties of polyimide in general, such as high heat resistance, high tensile strength and modulus, radiation resistance, low flammability and smoke emission, low creep, and high wear resistance, offer designers a material with an outstanding range of mechanical and physical properties.
Polyimide films are used for capacitors, insulation, printed circuit boards, and in aerospace. Other applications include engine components, bearings, and mechanical parts exposed to radiation.
