Ultem®/PEI (polyetherimide) film offers high heat resistance, coupled with high mechanical strength, stiffness, UV stability, and broad chemical resistance. This combination of properties proves the ability of this film to be used for a wide variety of demanding new design concepts. Similar to PEEK, Ultem® can be considered a more cost effective solution if continuous temperatures below 338F are acceptable per the application. It has a UL94 flame resistance rating of VTM-0, is FDA compliant, and is thermoformable. Custom sized sheeting available.

PES Ultrason E film possesses a combination of properties such as high resistance to heat and combustibility, low smoke emission and transparency. These coupled with light weight, high tear initiation and propagation strength, dimensional stability, chemical resistance and thermoformability make the film particularly useful in electrical, aerospace, automotive, and mass transit industries. Good for continuous use in temperatures up to 356F, with exceptional tensile & flexural strength. Custom sized sheeting available.

DuPont™ Kapton® Type HN Film:

Kapton® Type HN film is a tough, aromatic polyimide film, exhibiting an excellent balance of physical, chemical, and electrical properties over a wide temperature range.  Kapton® has been successfully used in applications at temperatures as low as -452°F (-269°C) and as high as 752°F (400°C).

Chemically, its polyimide polymer makeup is the result of a polycondensation reaction between pyromellitic dianhydride and 4,4.diaminodiphenyl ether.  Kapton does not melt or burn and has excellent chemical resistance; there are no know organic solvents for the film.

Kapton® HN film meets ASTM D-5213 (type 1, item A) & Mil-P-46112  requirements, & UL-94 Flammability rating: V-0.

Kapton® is a Registered Trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company used under license by CS Hyde Company.

TPX® (Polymethylpentene, or PMP) has remarkable combination of transparency and resistance to heat/chemicals. Some of its distinguishing characteristics include its low moisture absorption, exceptional electrical and acoustical properties, good chemical resistance, high heat resistance, and transparency.

3 mil. and 5 mil. TPX® has a gloss/matte surface
10 mil. TPX® Film has a  Gloss (polish)/matte surface  (*limited availability matte/matte) specify when ordering to confirm availability
20 mil. TPX® has a matte/matte surface

TPX resin is FDA compliant, and has the lowest specific gravity of any known thermoplastic. It is thermoformable at temps of 248°F to 428°F depending on thickness, and thicker film should be preheated before forming.

Used in wide variety of applications including speaker cones, gas separating membranes, release films, and carrier films for ceramic slurry. TPX° DX845 resin.

PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) Ryton QC160P® film is an impact-modified, unreinforced extrusion grade resin. PPS film offers desirable tensile elongation along with excellent flexibility and ductility.

PPS Film has high temperature resistance (up to 500F, 428F continuous), impact strength and flexibility. This new grade retains many of the traditional benefits of Fortron® PPS including excellent adhesion to nylons and polyolefins, high chemical resistance and low fuel permeation.

PPS offers the broadest resistance to chemicals of any advanced engineering plastic. It has no known solvents below 392°F (200°C) and is inert to steam, strong bases, fuels and acids. For example: .005" (5mil) film of Fortron PPS SKX-382 has a gasoline (CE10) permeability rate of 0.121 g mm/m2/day, which is far less than that of nylon, polyketone and other resins often used with gasoline and other fuels. Minimal moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, combined with stress-relieving manufacturing, make PPS ideally suited for precise tolerance machined components.

PVDF (Kynar®) offers excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, and features a high tensile strength (7,000psi@yield). It also has good thermal stability and can be used in sustained applications up to 300°F. 

PVDF is extremely pure, which makes it a good candidate for food applications. When specified, PVDF resin complies with FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.510, USDA, 3A sanitary standards and meets ASTM D3222 resin specifications. PVDF can be used as a substitute for Tedlar®, ask for info.

Another feature of Kynar® is its high impact resistance and durability. Compared to many thermoplastics, PVDF has excellent resistance to creep and fatigue, yet in thin sections such as films, PVDF components are flexible and transparent.

PVDF film is stable to UV light and the effects of weather. In cold, heat, sunlight and humidity PVDF Film does not wear out or get brittle. PVDF has low NBS smoke generation and superior LOI. Also available as a CS Hyde exclusive: PVDFstick® tape, PVDF laminated with high tack adhesive for fastener-less application.
