Zeus Polyimide (PI) Custom Materials

Overview- Polyimide (PI) is a group of high performing polymers known for their exceptional chemical, thermal, and mechanical performance properties. Polyimides generally demonstrate excellent thermal stability in high as well as low temperatures. Polyimides also exhibit broad chemical resistance and good dielectric properties. Polyimides are poor conductors of heat and are highly disinclined to burn; they are also radiation resistant. These properties and others have made polyimides widely used in industries including medical, aerospace, automotive, electronics, chemical, sensors, and more. Zeus polyimide tubing can be produced in extremely small dimensions, yet it retains strength and pushability whether for vascular catheters or nonmedical deployments. Polyimide can also be provided as a coating for over-the-wire (OTW; PI insulated wire) applications. Polyimide coating for electrical leads provides insulation in addition to a low-friction surface for easier positioning or placement. Polyimide can also be provided in a layered composite-type construction to further tailor tubing or coating properties.
