Vespel™ is a high-performance polymer suitable for extreme thermal, electrical, and mechanical stresses.
Dimensional and thermal stability, low thermal and electrical conductivity, excellent wear and bearing properties, as well as resistance to chemicals and radiation, are some of its remarkable characteristics.
Another advantage is that many components can be made lighter and more durable using Vespel than with conventional metals, ceramics, and polymers.
Vespel is versatile and is used primarily in the aerospace, semiconductor, and automotive industries.
A 25 mm × 25 mm Vespel sample was tested using the TIM tester (TIM L58) over a temperature range of 40 °C to 150 °C, applying a constant contact pressure of 1 MPa.
The thermal conductivity increases with temperature, as is to be expected according to the literature.
