Light-weight microcrystals with tunable properties –
very high mechanical, chemical and thermal stability >650°C – polyimides from “green production“

• fully crystalline microparticles with high chemical and thermal stability and tunable morphology
• temperature-resistance up to 650 °C
• particle sizes in the lower micrometer range
• tunable particle shapes (e.g. flower-like, platelets)
• low weight – particularly compared to inorganic fillers, such as ceramics
• highly compatible with various polymer matrices
• environmentally-friendly production avoiding toxic and questionable additives – supporting EU’s REACH environmental regulations
• new products are now becoming possible in terms of radiation, temperature and chemical resistance, at exceptionally low weight

Innovation level:

• first-time presentation at SIAE – fair novelty
• patented “green” production process

Applications:

• Aerospace industry: turbines, jet engines, seals; electrically insulating parts; thermally insulating, fireproof and radiation-sable parts
• Mechanical engineering: piston rings, valve seats, rollers, bearing elements, sliding elements, guiding elements, brake pads, compressor parts, moulded parts and housing parts, turbines
