Direct formed parts made of TECASINT are particularly suitable for applications involving a high level of thermal and mechanical stress in which very good emergency running characteristics are required depending on speed and force.
Due to the high purity and the very good thermal stability of - 270°C to + 300°C, applications can also be implemented in a vacuum and in the cryogenic and high-temperature ranges.
The direct forming technology involves practically no material waste. In most cases, reworking is also not required.
Due to the short cycle time, die pressing is also particularly economical for precise volume parts from batch sizes of 1,000.
The preferred field s of applications for direct formed polyimide parts are:
wear rings, bearing discs, bearing bushes, piston and axial sealing rings, hot glass handling parts, sliding bearings, chain bushings, valve seats, friction rings and insulators
Polyimides from the TECASINT product family are increasingly used for bottle grippers and transportation discs.
