UBE UPIMOL® R Polyimide Shape

Description: Ube's UPIMOL is an exceptionally heat-resistant polyimide Shape. This product has the same molecular structure as UPILEX, an ultra-high heat-resistant polyimide film developed by Ube, produced through polycondensation of biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride and diamine. Depending on the type of application, there are two types of UPIMOL available. One is UPIMOL-R for general use and the other is UPIMOL-S for high heat-resistant use.While exhibiting a number of excellent properties over a wide temperature range, of special note are UPIMOL's exceptional mechanical, thermal and chemical properties at high temperatures. Since UPIMOL has been shown to satisfy even the exacting requirements of the ceramics industry, its applications are extremely wide-ranging, the major uses including:Electrical and Electronic EquipmentIC sockets for semiconductor testing machine handlersCollet for IC mounterFrictional parts such as copier bearingsWire guides for wire dot printersIndustrial EquipmentPiston rings for compressors, etc.Thrust washers for gears, etc.Radiation and chemical resistant pipe sealings and other such parts.Aerospace-Related EquipmentVane bushings for jet enginesSpline couplings for aircraftInsulating parts, spacers, etc, for artificial satellites.Information provided by UBE.
