Probably the most important question to ask about a polymer seal application is the PV value involved.
Extreme Polymers: Polyimide
Polyimide, typically abbreviated as PI or referred to tradenames such as Vespel, Plavis and Duratron-PI, is the second most powerful high temperature engineering polymer on the market today, right behind Celazole. In this blog post, we are going to discuss the characteristics and uses of this powerful high-performance polymer.
