PI (Polyimide) | 6R00 series
PI polymer has a wide range of applications, e.g., aerospace, automotive, electric and electronic fields, and so on, because of its great mechanical, thermal, electrical, and chemical properties.
The base polymer of SCM6R00 series is the polyimide: UIP-R, which is made from biphenyltetracarbonic acid dianhydride (BPDA) and is synthesized by UBE Industries in Japan. SCM6R00 series stock shape is also molded in Japan.
SCM6R00 series shows excellent heat resistance like other polyimides and is expected to be used in wide range of several fields under high temperature.
