What is Vespel?

Vespel is a polyimide-based plastic that is dimensional stability, chemical resistant, creep resistant with low friction properties. It can operate at extreme temperatures and does not off-gas at high temperatures.

What is Vespel used for?

Vespel is dimensional stability, chemical resistant, creep resistant with low friction properties that can operate at extreme temperatures. It is commonly used in semiconductor handling, critical aerospace components, and vacuum applications.

Is Vespel a thermoset?

Vespel is a thermoplastic and not a thermoset. The basic difference is that thermoplastics melt when heated, while thermosets are irreversibly hardened once they're formed.
