DETAILS

Polyimide film possesses excellent chemical resistance; there are no known organic solvents for the film. It is self-extinguishing with UL-94 V-0 rating, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications in many different industries, including wire and cable, coil insulation, substrates for flexible printed circuits, motor slot liners, magnet wire insulation, transformer and capacitor insulation. It also has the ability to provide excellent electrical insulation and dimensional stability.

CGS Polyimide films are available in various thickness, ranging from ultra-thin 0.5 mil to thick 10 mil. Layers of film can even be laminated together to create an ultra-thick film, up to 20 mils. Our film has a maximum width of 40 in. (1016 mm) with continuous lengths from 1000 to 10,000 ft. (3000 m). Material can be supplied on 3″ and 6″ cores. For custom width or length, CGS also has in house slitting and rewinding capabilities.

In addition to the standard HN version, CGS polyimide films are available with the following coating or additives:

  • Heat Sealable
  • Thermo Conductive
  • Corona Resistant
  • Anti Static
  • Metalized
  • Pigmented for color
