Kapton® offers a unique combination of electrical, chemical and mechanical properties. Its ability to withstand heat is the most outstanding property of Kapton® polyimide films.
With a UL®-94 V-O rating, Kapton® will not sustain or propagate
flame. Nor will it produce any significant smoke when exposed to
flame.
UL rated at 220°C to 240°C (428°F to 464°F) for continuous service,
Kapton® can function for brief periods after exposure to temperatures
up to 400°C (752°F). It also retains its high dielectric
strength even at elevated temperatures — 2,500 V/mil at 300°C
(572°F). It also performs well at the other end of
the temperature scale, retaining its properties and flexibility at -
269°C (-452°F) without becoming brittle.
Kapton® polyimide film is used on
the windings of large coils for motors, flexible circuits, electrical insulation, thermal barrier in electronics and aerospace applications. Kapton® polyimide film is compatible with many high-temperature impregnating varnishes, including polyimides, esterimides, epoxies,
silicones, amides-imides and organo-silicones, used to make
today’s electrical equipment.
