Vespel parts, manufactured to your design
from high performance polyimide resin, provide a unique
combination of the physical properties of plastics,
metals and ceramics. Vespel parts offer you design flexibility.
Often several parts can be combined into one, parts
can be designed to simplify product assembly, or parts
can be eliminated. As with metals and ceramics, Vespel
parts can successfully perform in demanding physical
environments.

Vespel
S Line
Within the S Line, Vespel parts
and shapes include many products with differing sets
of attributes. First in the Vespel family of products
— highly durable polyimides that deliver exceptional
wear resistance, insulation, and a low coefficient of
friction.
Vespel
TP Line
This
innovative thermoplastic material lets you improve functionality
in ways you never thought possible. In fact, just like
the S line, TP parts have superior wear, chemical and
temperature resistance; you can even use them to replace
metal and ceramic parts. And also like the S line, various
TP products have been created to fit a variety of design
specs.
Vespel CR Line
Luckily,
being prepared simply means thinking Vespel CR when
you’re designing for a tough chemical environment.
Plus, CR can provide ultra-high purity for semiconductor
applications, high-creep resistance for seals, even
easy machinability for tight-tolerance parts like ball
valve seats.

Vespel CP Line
For your designs to be successful, they
have to do more than work well. They have to keep on
working, year after year, in some pretty harsh user
environments. Wear and impact resistance are key. You
want polyimide tube clamps that can replace cast aluminium
or titanium, slide blocks that are stronger than powder-filled
compositions, and wear strips that are self-lubricating.
That’s why CP was created. We have an array of
fiber-enhanced composites for a range of unique design
needs.
Vespel
ASB Line
The ASB family brings together our broadening
product line for increased flexibility in developing
a solution to meet your individual performance and value
demands.
Sometimes you need a part to do double
duty. Our ASB offering can combine the performance of
non-polymeric materials with the excellent properties
of our TP product line. Specifically, materials like
steel or ceramic are insert-molded with our TP resin.
Our
S family has unique properties, which solve many difficult
problems. But occasionally, customers need more geometric
flexibility than our S products can provide. We also
offer ASB products composed of S parts overmolded with
other engineered polymers.
