PI Rods

Polyimide rod is a high-performance polymer material with polyimide (PI) as the main component, which is made into rod form by high temperature and high pressure process. Its molecular structure contains imide-based chain links, belonging to the aromatic heterocyclic polymer compounds, with high temperature resistance, high strength, excellent insulation and other characteristics.

Core advantages of PI Rods


  • High temperature stability

Wide range of long-term use temperature (-200℃ to 300℃), resistant to extreme high temperature environment, no significant melting point.

  • Excellent insulation properties

Low dielectric constant (about 3.4), high dielectric strength, suitable for high-voltage electrical and electronic equipment.

  • Excellent mechanical properties

Tensile strength up to 343 MPa (e.g. Kinel 5504), high hardness, good wear resistance, excellent dimensional stability.

  • Chemical resistance and self-lubrication

Resistant to acid, alkali and solvent corrosion, some modified materials have self-lubricating properties, reducing friction loss.

  • Environmental protection and safety

Non-toxic, self-extinguishing, low smoke emission during combustion, in line with environmental requirements.


Main Applications of PI Rods


  • Aerospace

Used for manufacturing high temperature structural parts, engine parts, seals, etc., which are resistant to extreme temperature and high load environment. For example: spacecraft heat insulation parts, rocket parts, etc.

  • Electronic information industry

Used as an insulating material for circuit boards, electronic packages, etc., to meet the insulating needs of high-voltage, high-frequency environments. Examples: FPC (flexible circuit board) substrates, electronic component support structures.

  • Biomedical field

Used for medical device components due to its good biocompatibility and sterilization resistance. Examples: surgical instruments, medical device housings.

  • Automotive industry

Used for high-temperature and high-pressure parts such as engine covers and brake systems to enhance durability and thermal stability.

  • Precision instruments and machinery

Used as wear-resistant, low-friction bearings, gears and other transmission parts for high-precision equipment.


Summary

Polyimide rods have become key materials in aerospace, electronics, automotive and other fields by virtue of their unique comprehensive performance. Its high-temperature stability, insulation and mechanical strength make it a significant advantage in replacing traditional metal materials (such as aluminum, bronze), while meeting the demand for lightweight and high performance.
