Looking for heat-resistant films
Looking for heat-resistant films
(OP)
Hi,
I'm looking for commercially available films with following properties:
1. Heat-resistant up to 160 oC
2. Surface roughness rms below 1 nm
3. Stand-alone
4. 0.1 ~0.5 mm thick
I've tried some Kapton films but the flatness is not desirable. Can anyone suggest other. Thanks.

RE: Looking for heat-resistant films
What is the size you need?
RE: Looking for heat-resistant films
By "stand-alone" I mean the film is independent of a substrate. The size of the film is 1 in. by 1 in..
Thanks.

Are you talking about an organic film?
Transparent to what, visible, UV, IR?
Environment?

Smoothness requires polishing, either of the forming surface or the finished surface. You can presumably take reinforced Kapton and subject it to polishing. You might want to consult with some optics houses.

The DSM site offers a new material Stanyl that has excellant high temperature properties.

Solvay has any number of products that could be used.

Some nylons will withstand that
Many exotics like sulphones and PEEK and polyimide and polyetherimide will take the heat but are expensive and of limited availability
We still do not know load, time at temperature, other factors in the environment, if it requires transparency or dimensional stability.
The surface finish required is a tough call.
