Melt Processable, Fiberglass Reinforced, High Heat Thermoplastic Polyimides

From SABIC Innovative Plastics
 

 

The addition of fiberglass to a new high temperature (Tg 267°C), thermoplastic polyimide yields blends with enhanced performance (these blends fall under US export control restrictions). High stiffness and low CTE make these good candidates for metal replacement. Their facile melt processability on standard injection molding machines makes them suitable for electrical connector applications. The resins are also inherently flame retardant. Physical properties, as well as processing conditions for injection molding, are discussed and compared to unfilled materials.
