Polyimide Sintimid V

Poly­imide [Sin­timid V®]

Prop­er­ties

  • Heat– and wear-resistant
  • Long-term ther­mal stability
  • Creep-resistant
  • Spe­cialty grades with inter­nal lubri­cants such as PTFE and graphite are avail­able for appli­ca­tions requir­ing supe­rior wear resis­tance and lower coef­fi­cients of friction.
  • High purity
  • Chemical-resistant

Com­mon uses

  • Seals
  • Thrust wash­ers
  • Bush­ings
  • Wear pads
  • Wafer-handling com­po­nents
  • Insu­lat­ing and sup­port ele­ments in elec­tri­cal weld­ing and braz­ing equipment
