Ensinger SPI

Ensinger TECASINT 5051 Polyimide, 30% Glass Fiber Filled (PI)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyimide, Thermoplastic; Thermoplastic Polyimide, Glass Fiber

Material Notes: TECASINT is a range of non-melting high temperature polyimides characterized by high strength over a wide range of temperatures, good long term thermal stability, minimal thermal expansion and excellent wear resistance among other things. The TECASINT 2000 series offers these enhanced thermal properties along with lower moisture absorption, a higher degree of toughness, and better machining properties. TECASINT 2011 is unfilled, while TECASINT 2021 contains 15% graphite which offer improved wear resistance and a lower coefficient of friction. TECASINT 2000 series with their superior physical properties, are ideal for application in the aerospace, nuclear, automotive, electrical/electronics, and chemical processing industries.

    Main Features
  • High thermal and mechanical capacity
  • High gamma radiation resistance
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Easily machined
  • Flame retardant according to UL94 V-0
  • Very creep resistant
  • Good wear properties
  • Low coefficient of thermal expansion
  • Very good electrical insulation
  • Sensitive to hydrolysis in higher thermal range

    Applications
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Cryogenics
  • Aircraft and aerospace industries
  • Electronics
  • Nuclear and vacuum technology
  • Electrical engineering

Preferred Fields

Switch parts, connector, housing, lead backer
