VESPEL^®

VESPEL^® is a revolutionary high-performance polyimide resin that stands out for its unique ring-shaped molecular structure containing nitrogen. This innovative structure allows Vespel^® to combine the best properties of ceramics, metals, and plastics into one exceptional material, offering unmatched strengths for both performance and cost efficiency.

WHERE IS IT USED?

This highly durable polyimide is well-known for its remarkable thermal resistance, minimal wear or friction qualities, and ability to insulate. Because of its capacity to tolerate temperature extremes, high friction, and large loads, it is widely utilized in the aerospace, oil and gas, and power and renewables industries.

Vespel^® is so reliable, it can even be used as a thermal conductivity reference material. This ‘super plastic’ excels where others falter, making it essential for cutting-edge technology in a variety of industries.
