    Kapton® Polyimide films

    Maintains its unique combination of mechanical properties under the harshest of conditions.

    DuPont™ Kapton® B polyimide film exhibits an excellent balance of physical, chemical, and electrical properties over a wide temperature range, with superior dimensional stability at elevated temperatures.

    Kapton® corona resistant film withstands the damaging effects of corona discharge. The corona resistance provides improved service life and operational efficiencies versus conventional insulation materials.

    Preferred dielectric films for very fine pitch circuity and next generation IC packaging application.

    Kapton® FCRC combines corona resistant polyimide film with a heat fusible FEP fluoropolymer film. The corona resistance provides improved service life and operational efficiencies vs conventional insulation materials.

    General purpose HN film coated or laminated on one or both sides with a FEP fluoropolymer.

    Film is treated on both sides and has an excellent balance of physical, chemical and electrical properties over a wide temperature range.

    DuPont™ Kapton® FPC polyimide film is treated on both sides with excellent balance of physical, chemical and electrical properties over a wide temperature range.

    Kapton® FWN is ideal for demanding magnet wire applications and for difficult-to-wind motors.

    Proper insulation design and application of these materials will provide a tough, high dielectric strength insulation with improved hydrolysis resistance compared to other commonly used polyimide containing materials.

    Kapton® GS film has been specifically designed and manufactured to expand the processing window and improve yields during artificial graphite sheet production.

    Enables excellent “in plane” thermal conductivity when converted into artificial graphite sheet. Used as a thermal dissipative material in a variety of applications to consumer electronics such as cell phones and tablet computers

    Recommended for applications that require an all-polyimide film with an excellent balance of properties over a wide range of temperatures.

    Recommended in applications where low shrinkage and superior adhesion are important.

    In applications where low shrinkage and superior adhesion are important, Kapton® HPP-ST is the polyimide film of choice.
