Polyimide refers to a class of synthetic polymers. Adding polyimide produces a PTFE compound that is lower in friction than all of those previously described. It is non-abrasive, making it a good choice for applications involving softer mating surfaces like steel, aluminium, or other plastics. Polyimide filled PTFE therefore suits dry running and stop-start applications particularly well. However, polyimide is the priciest of the PTFE fillers.
The leading consumers of our PTFE products include manufacturers in Industrial (Custom Engineered Parts), Material Handling, Chemical Processing, Construction, Oil and Gas. Electrical and Electronics (Semiconductors), Aerospace/Defense, Automotive, Energy and Medical markets.
