Black Polyimides

Conductive and Non-Conductive Black CP1

Conductive Black CP1 Polyimide is filled with carbon nanoparticles to produce a conductive black polyimide material with lower RF loss than other black and conductive black polyimides. In addition to conductive black CP1, non-conductive black CP1 is available without using a carbon black filler. CP1 is a space-rated colorless polyimide material designed by NASA and further developed by Applied.

Performance

  • Conductive Black CP1 Polyimide exhibits very high optical density (>4) and light blocking.
  • Conductive Black CP1 Polyimide is useful in applications requiring static dissipation, as it exhibits ESD-level surface resistivity (10^5-10^9 ohms/sq).
  • Conductive Black CP1 polyimide exhibits high emissivity, surpassing 0.80 at 1 mil thickness. Additionally, it can be sprayed and cast into various shapes, using low-temperature curing for solvent removal.
  • Low-Temperature Cure
  • Sprayable and Castable
  • Glass Transition Temperature 263°C

CORIN® XLS – Atomic Oxygen Resistant Polyimide

CORIN® XLS Polyimide combines polyimide and nanocomposite technologies to deliver unsurpassed levels of optical clarity, oxidative stability, and stability to solar radiation. CORIN® XLS Polyimide received a prestigious R&D 100 Award in 2008, recognizing it as one of the most important inventions of the year.

CORIN® XLS Polyimide is a fluorinated polyimide nanocomposite that offers the highest atomic oxygen (AO) durability and highest light transmission of all the NeXolve colorless polyimides, making it an ideal lightweight substitute material for glass used in space PV arrays in low earth orbit (LEO).

CORIN® XLS Polyimide exhibits a glass transition temperature in excess of 250°C and can be used as a replacement for glass substrates in display applications.

CORIN® XLS Polyimide can be processed with organic solvents for spray, dip, or casting applications.

NovaClear® Polyimide

Novaclear® Polyimide is a colorless polyimide with a higher temperature stability than NeXolve’s CP1 Polyimide, exhibiting a glass transition temperature exceeding 330°C.

NovaClear® Polyimide is a transparent, colorless polyimide with temperature durability comparable to many traditional amber polyimides.

NovaClear® has a low yellowness index and high Tg which make this material suitable for use in display applications with high temperatures. It is available as a film, liquid resin, or raw polymer powder.

Liquid NovaClear® resin can be direct coated onto many substrates; however, unlike traditional polyimide resins, no high temperature cure is required for this material. NovaClear® can be custom formulated with pigments, dyes, and many other additive chemistries to meet the needs of many applications.
