What kind of plastic is vespel?

Polyimide
DuPont™ Vespel® Polyimide is an extremely high temperature, creep resistant plastic material that is often used in high heat environments where thermoplastic materials lose their mechanical properties.

Who makes vespel?

DuPont
Vespel is the trademark of a range of durable high-performance polyimide-based plastics manufactured by DuPont. The one shown in the structure on the right was the first to be commercialized.

Is Vespel conductive?

DuPont™ Vespel® SP-1 unfilled offers superior wear and insulation properties with operating temperatures from cryogenic to 260°C (500°F). Vespel® SP-1 has low electrical conductivity and the highest elongation and purity of the SP family.

Is polyimide the same as nylon?

The key difference between nylon and polyamide is that nylon is a synthetic material, whereas polyamides can be either natural or synthetic. Nylon and polyamides are closely related terms because both materials are polymers, and nylon is a type of polyamide.

Which one is better nylon or polyamide?

The key difference between nylon and polyamide is that nylon is a synthetic material, whereas polyamides can be either natural or synthetic. Moreover, nylon has great resistance against moisture and rain while polyamide has less resistance, and is slightly hydrophobic.

What is difference between polyimide and polyamide?

The main difference between polyamide and polyimide is that the monomers used for polyamide manufacture are diamines and dicarboxylic acids whereas the monomers used for polyimide manufacture are either dianhydride and diamine or dianhydride and diisocyanate.

Is PTFE a Kapton?

Using custom manufacturing processes, practically every application method can be achieved to take full advantage of the diverse properties of Teflon™ films. Kapton® is a unique polyimide film that was invented and trademarked by DuPont in the 1960s.
