Films of AV-630 offer certain performance advantages over comparable PEEK film. These include improved toughness and ductility, a higher retention of mechanical integrity at temperatures above 150°C, better acceptance of adhesives and improved flame propagation resistance properties. Ultra-thin films (<15 microns thick) also exhibit a more flexible, less crinkly feel than that of PEEK films at comparable thicknesses.

Sub-mil thick films produced from AV-630 can be utilized in a wide range of industrial applications. Typical applications include capacitors, electrical insulation, flexible circuitry substrates, composite film layers, specialty laminates, moisture barriers, liners and aerospace films, such a thermal acoustical insulation blanket bagging materials.

Extrusion notes: Drying:
- AvaSpire AV-630 resins must be dried completely prior to melt processing. Incomplete drying will result in defects in the formed part ranging from surface streaks to severe bubbling. Pellets can be dried on trays in a circulating air oven or in desiccating hopper dryer. Drying conditions recommended are 4 hours at 150°C (300°F).
