Polyimide, also known under its abbreviation PI, can be used at high (and extremely low) temperatures, has no visible melting point and thus retains good shape stability and mechanical properties. The upper threshold at short peak temperatures is 450\u00b0C. Polyimide also extinguishes flames, is electrically insulating, resists energy-rich radiation and has minimal outgassing in a vacuum. Thanks to its intrinsic purity, PI sheets and poles are frequently used in high purity applications, such as semi-conduction, the aerospace industry and primary research (CERN).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Experience with Polyimide (PI)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have many years of experience in processing polyimide plastic for various applications. As a result, we know better than anyone what is needed in the field of high-performance plastic processing with polyimide material. If necessary, it is possible to have PI plastic prototypes produced in our state of the art machine park – accurate up to 3\u03bcm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characteristics of PI plastic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Polyimide can be used at high (and extremely low) temperatures, has no visible melting point and therefore retains its good dimensional stability and mechanical properties. The upper limit for short-term peak temperatures is even up to 400 \u00b0 C. Polyimide is good electrically insulating, also flame-extinguishing, resistant to high-energy radiation and has minimal outgassing in vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
