About Polyimide (PI)
Polyimide or PI is a special kind of plastic material, which being a high temperature resistant plastic is very much in demand. Starting from high-temperature fuel cells, the most important components of airplanes, PI meets the needs owing to its thermal stability.
This versatile material also has better strength and also works as an insulator; thus, it is important in the military, aerospace and electronics industries. PI stands as a king in the list of high performance plastics.
Features
- Long term thermal stability 300°C (short term up to 400 °C)
- High heat resistance up to 470 °C (HDT/A)
- Good cryogenic properties down to -270 °C
- Particularly good resistance to wear, even under high pressure and sliding speed
- High resistance to deformations
- Excellent thermal and electrical insulation
- Inherently flame retardant
- Good machinability
- Resistant to radiation
- Inherently flame retardant

What is the difference between polyamide and polyimide?
Polyimide is frequently used in applications where a reliable insulating material capable of continuous use at high temperatures (up to 400 model absolutely matches inline) and nearly free from creep, as well. In comparison, polyamide is an effective solution for electrical insulation in lower temperature environments.
Does polyimide absorb moisture?
Flexible and rigid-flex printed circuit boards with polyimide are hygroscopic – they can absorb moisture from the air under normal room conditions.
What dissolves polyimide?
This is treated with one or two of a solution containing ammonium ions, a solution consisting halogen ions and another disposing cu.
Why use polyimide?
polyimide is excellent in terms of being able to be shaped easily (flexibility), has good adhesiveness, no brittle fracture or deviation and also superior heat resistance; therefore used for the purpose of preventing cracking under which differences between thermal expansion forces originating from molded resin with respect to semiconductor chips are caused.
Is polyimide a plastic?
PI is a high temperature polymer, non melting. High strength, good dimensional stability and creep resistance up to high temperatures of 500°F.
How to remove polyimide?
Cleaning of Silica Fibers or Tubes Coated with Polyimide
Thermal Techniques.
Flame: Matches and lighters are the fastest, cheapest way to burn polyimide away but they also leave residues….
Gas torch: strong performance: it can completely decompose polyimide, excellent results and neat final product….
Gas torch: Propane, etc.
Does polyimide absorb water?
Polyimide resins are also expensive, amenable to moisture pick-up and polyurethane resins have notoriously short pot life while phenolic resisns lose mechanical strength upon prolonged uv exposure [38].
Is polyimide UV resistant?
Polyimides are not degraded by ultraviolet radiation, suitable for outdoor use. Resistant to weather: Polyimides are also able withstand extreme heat and cold (and anything in between), so the same materials that go into jet fuel tanks will do just fine outdoors too.
