Rising Application of Polyimide Films in industries

Published: Sep 2019

Global polyimide films market is growing at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Polyimides are high-performance imide polymers. Polyimide has exceptional properties such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, flexible and is very lightweight therefore, these are primarily used in the electronics industry. Additionally, these consist of excellent dielectric properties. Kapton is one of the classic polyimides, it is produced by condensing pyromellitic dianhydride and oxydianiline. Polyimides were originally developed by Du Pont Company.

Factors Driving Global Polyimide Films Market

The major factors which are driving the market are increasing application in various industries owing to exceptional properties of polyimide such as-

  • Excellent dimensional stability at high temperatures under load
  • Smooth as-molded surfaces
  • Transparency, though slightly yellow
  • Good optical properties
  • Very high strength and modulus
  • High continuous-use temperature
  • Inherent ignition resistance without the use of additives
  • Good electrical properties with low ion content

Polyimide films are primarily used in electronics industries. Polyimide finds various applications in these industries due to its lightweight, heat resistant and chemical resistant properties. Polyimide films are used in laptops, computer and connecting cables, these films connect the display to the logic board. Apical is one of the most widely used polyimide films. Polyimide films are used in laptop films to connect the lid and motherboard these are highly flexible films which makes them an essential component for connection. Hence, contributing to the growth of the polyimide films market across the globe.

Moreover, polyimide is able to withstand the pressure of any sort and form, it is a very strong polymer. The tensile strength of the material is at least 16,000 psi. Polyimide is considered one of the best options when it comes to selecting high-performance polymer material due to the excellent thermal, mechanical and chemical properties. Hence, polyimide films have a wide range of application in baking, dehydrator, electronics, heat sealing, food processing, screen printing, solar energy, welding, wind energy and so on.

Another factor driving the polyimide film market growth is increasing application in the aerospace industry. One of the major ways to improve aircraft performance is reducing its structural weight, lighter material allows more speed and less operational cost. Additionally, it may also lead to less fuel consumption and thus, making the aerospace industry one of the most prominent sectors which need more lightweight materials. Polyimide is used in jet engines inside the aircraft due to its exceptional heat resistant property. Due to this, the industry is moving towards polyimide film which enables them to meet space and weight specifications and simultaneously increases performance due to their high heat resistance capacity.
