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.
