Our Graphite Filled PI (Polyimide) represents a high-performance modified engineering plastic, integrating PI’s inherent ultra-high temperature resistance and chemical stability with graphite’s superior self-lubricating properties and wear resistance. Engineered to outperform conventional PI, PEI (Polyetherimide), PPS, and PEEK in high-friction, extreme-heat environments, this precision-manufactured composite material delivers exceptional dimensional consistency and long-term reliability—ideal for global manufacturers seeking solutions to reduce friction, extend component lifespan, and ensure stability in critical high-demand applications.
Key Properties & Performance Advantages
- Ultra-High Thermal Stability: Maintains structural integrity at continuous service temperatures up to 300°C (short-term peak 400°C), surpassing PEI, PPS, and PEEK’s thermal limits for extreme heat workflows.
- Superior Self-Lubrication: Graphite filling reduces friction coefficient by 30-50% compared to unfilled PI, eliminating the need for additional lubrication in high-friction scenarios—lowering maintenance costs.
- Exceptional Wear Resistance: Graphite reinforcement enhances surface hardness and abrasion resistance, outperforming standard PI, PPS, and PEI in high-load, repetitive-motion applications.
- Robust Chemical Compatibility: Resists strong acids, bases, solvents, and industrial fluids, ensuring durability in corrosive environments where lubricants may degrade.
- Low Moisture Absorption & Warpage: Retains dimensional stability with minimal moisture uptake and warpage, critical for precision-machined components in harsh conditions.
- Radiation & Vacuum Resistance: Tolerates radiation and vacuum environments, suitable for aerospace, semiconductor, and nuclear industry applications.
