Translucent Amber Miniature Polyimide Tubing, 42 AWG, 0.0024" ID, 0.0034" OD, 0.0005" Wall, 30" Length Review
When thin walls, tight tolerances and high strength are required, polyimide is the material of choice. Polyimide is in the select group of super polymers and is now available in micro and miniature tubing sizes. Our tubing has a thermal rating of -452F (-269C) To 700F (371C) for continuous use application with a dielectric constant of 3.4. This material is considered a benchmark for polymers in electrical insulation applications. This tubing exhibits exceptional dimensional stability and has very high burst pressure ratings. Excellent column strength and high stiffness has proven to provide good push and torque properties making polyimide tubing an excellent choice for catheters that are guided through the body's vascular system. Other uses include high strength, temperature and chemical resistant push rod tubes, and miniature structural matrices. This tubing can be steam, gamma or EtO sterilized and has excellent chemical resistance. Polyimide tubing can be bonded with cyanoacrylates, UV and room temperature cure epoxies.
