Kapton^® (Kapton^® is DuPont's registered trade mark) polyimide film is synthesized by polymerizing an aromatic dianhydride and an aromatic diamine.

With its excellent physical, chemical and electrical properties Kapton^® film can be used in a wide temperature range (-269+400°C).

Kapton^® is available in different versions according to the application. ´

The basic type is Kapton^® HN.

Kapton® HN is mainly used for the insulation of electrical motors in class H and super H, in the production of adhesive tapes for dielectric uses and when resistance to extreme temperatures is required (as low as -269°C and as high as 400°C).

Kapton® VN is similar to the basis type, but it has a superior dimensional stability. Kapton® VN is mainly used in the production of flexible printed circuits. 

Kapton® FN is type HN coated on one or both sides with Teflon® FEP, that enhances chemical resistance and imparts heat sealability. FN type is used to cover cables and conductors for high temperatures.

Type XP is coated with Teflon® PFA and it can be used at higher countinuous temperatures (Teflon® FEP: 205°C Teflon® PFA: 260°C).

Kapton® CR (available also with a coating in Teflon®: FCR) was developed to withstand the damaging effects of "corona'.

Kapton® MT (available also in black: MTB and with a coating in Teflon®: FTM) is appropriated for all the applications where an high thermal conductivity is required.

Type FPC, in the different versions, is suitable for the production of flexible circuits.

For the realization of thermoformed shapes Kapton® HA and JP are the perfect solutions.

Kapton® KJ is a thermoplastic polyimide film suitable for operating at high temperature.

Type HKJ is a Kapton® film coated on one or both sides with Kapton® KJ.

Kapton® XC is a conductive film and it is custom-made upon request.
