Polyimide Labels
Polyimide is a polymeric plastic material, engineered for long term performance at very high temperatures, in excess of 350°C for prolonged periods of time. It is thermally very stable, and is widely used in aerospace, electronics, and electrical industries when a high temperature material is required.
Because of its thermal stability, properly engineered polyimide films do not shrink or decompose at the temperatures encountered in the circuit board industry. This is particularly important for bar code symbols. Shrinkage in the label will result in distortion of the bar code symbol, which makes it unscannable.
We carefully and continually evaluate properties of these films to maintain the highest quality standards in the industry today. We are the technology leaders in the use of polyimide chemistry and polyimide films for bar code applications.
Polyimide labels are all ideal for high temperature labeling requirements such as printed circuit boards. They are suitable for direct wave (bottom side) and IR reflow (top side) PCB applications. Polyimide labels are designed to withstand the fluxes, cleaning solvents and molten solder encountered in the manufacture of printed circuit boards. They offer excellent contrast for bar code applications. Polyimide labels are suitable for the harshest high temperature applications. For reliable print performance and durability.
