Meldin® 7001 Polyimide - Unfilled
Meldin® 7001 Unfilled Polyimide Rods & Plates offer superior mechanical properties & high chemical resistance. Meldin® 7001 is ideal for electrical and thermal insulating applications. More ductile than ceramics, and lighter weight than metals, Meldin® 7001 is a popular choice for structural parts in aerospace and other applications where metal replacement is desirable. In Semiconductor Wafer Processing applications, the plasma etch rate of Meldin® 7001 is 10% to 20% lower than Vespel® SP-1 providing superior performance over time. (contact us for complete details). For IC Test Sockets & Probe Test Heads, Meldin® 7001 is also an excellent replacement for Vespel® SP-1. Meldin 7000 products feature operational temperatures of 500ºF (260ºF) for continuous operation and 900ºF for intermittent exposure, and tight tolerances of ±0.001 in. on both ODs and IDs. Meldin 7001 is suitable for high-temperature structural, high-purity semiconductor, & plasma welding applications.
Meldin Plates are Compression Molded & Meldin Rods are Isostatically Molded (ISO)
Meldin DF Parts are Direct Formed. (contact us for custom quotes)
Typical Applications:
Wafer Clamping Rings, IC Test Sockets & Nests, Plasma Torch Tips, Bearings, Seals, Insulators, Thrust Washers
