Duratron® PI (polyimide) stock shapes and direct formed parts are made from robust polyimide resins for demanding applications where exceptional thermal resistance, low wear and low friction, strength and impact resistance are required. Duratron® PI offers properties that help to overcome sealing, friction, and wear challenges, that can endure high temperature and stands up to the harsh operating environments of the aerospace, transportation, and industrial applications. Duratron® PI is an exceptional value for applications requiring high strength, stability, and load-bearing capabilities in extreme temperatures over a long service life. Duratron® PI is available in several grades for structural and wear applications and in the broadest range of shapes - particularly thick sheets, larger sheets geometries and heavy-wall tubes.
Duratron® D7000 PI hot compression molded shapes possess superior electrical and thermal insulation properties, and outstanding mechanical performance qualities for applications that demand higher temperature resistance. In addition to these characteristics, Duratron® D7000 PI offers great chemical resistance, high strength and toughness, and outstanding dimensional stability. For these reasons, Duratron® D7000 PI is often seen as an ideal solution for insulators, high temperature fixtures, valve seats, gaskets, and seals.
