PI Polyimide Components

Product Name: PI Polyimide Components | Parts
Material: ARKPI - High-Performance Thermosetting Polyimide
Temperature Range: -269°C to +400°C (short-term up to 500°C)
Key Properties: Heat resistant, high strength, chemically inert, electrical insulation, radiation resistant

Description:
PI Polyimide Components are precision-engineered parts designed to perform in the harshest environments—where high heat, aggressive chemicals, and mechanical stress destroy most conventional materials. With excellent thermal stability across a wide temperature range from cryogenic conditions up to 400°C continuous use (500°C short-term), these components maintain structural integrity and dimensional stability under extreme thermal cycling.

They exhibit superior chemical resistance to fuels, acids, bases, and organic solvents, making them ideal for demanding applications in the semiconductor, aerospace, medical, and chemical processing industries. Their outstanding mechanical strength (tensile strength ≥100 MPa) and low creep allow them to support long-term structural loads and dynamic motion.

PI Polyimide Components also provide excellent electrical insulation with dielectric strength up to 300 kV/mm and a stable dielectric constant of 3.0–3.5, ensuring reliable performance in high-voltage and high-frequency systems. Resistant to gamma rays, X-rays, and UV, they are well-suited for aerospace and nuclear environments.

These components are vacuum-compatible, with low outgassing (TML <1%, CVCM <0.1%), making them safe for use in ISO Class 1–5 cleanrooms, space-grade hardware, and ultra-sensitive optical systems.
