The Ultimate High-Temperature Engineering Plastic
What is Vespel Polyimide ?
VESPEL® is DuPont™’s flagship high-performance polyimide (PI) material, engineered to outperform metals and ceramics in extreme environments. With unmatched thermal stability (-269°C to +300°C), chemical resistance, and self-lubricating properties, VESPEL® is the go-to solution for aerospace, semiconductor, automotive, and industrial applications.
5 Reasons Engineers Choose Vespel Polyimide ( PI )
-
Extreme Temperature Performance
-
Maintains mechanical integrity from cryogenic (-269°C) to high-heat (300°C) conditions – ideal for rocket components and semiconductor equipment.
-
-
Superior Mechanical Strength
-
Compression strength up to 220 MPa – and the wear resistance is more than 10 times that of ordinary plastics. It can replace metal for high-load parts such as bearings and gears.
-
-
Chemical Inertness
-
Resists acids, alkalis, fuels, and solvents – perfect for chemical processing and oil/gas applications.
-
-
Self-Lubricating & Low Friction
-
Coefficient of friction is low eliminates need for external lubricants in vacuum environments.
-
-
Ultra-Low Outgassing
-
Spacecraft components with near-zero volatile emissions in vacuum
