AURUM PL450C is a high performance thermoplastic polyimide for precision injection molded components and extruded products. A member of the AURUM family of advanced engineering resins, unfilled AURUM PL450C offers a unique balance of mechanical and thermal properties for superior performance in demanding automotive, business machinery, industrial equipment, aerospace, and semiconductor equipment applications. AURUM exhibits outstanding resistance to chemicals and radiation, a low coefficient of thermal expansion, ultrahigh purity, low outgassing in a vacuum, excellent electrical properties, and flame resistance. AURUM PL450C can be conventionally extruded to produce high performance wire & cable insulation, thin-wall tubing, and fiber. Applications: AURUM PL450C injection molded components are excellent replacements for metals, ceramics, and other plastics. High performance AURUM PL450C parts include heat-resistant gears, seals, ferrules and other fasteners, coil bobbins, semiconductor manufacturing and handling equipment components, and thermal and electrical insulators. Products produced from extruded AURUM PL450C resin include thin-wall tubing, wire and cable insulation, monofilament, and rod stock shapes. Information provided by DuPont |
