General Info

Plavis ® G15 Polyimide has 15% graphite by weight added to the base resin for increased wear resistance and reduced friction in applications. G15 has the highest mechanical properties of the graphite filled grades.

PLAVIS does not have a melting point and has a continuous operating temperature of 300 C / 572 F.  At 370 C / 698 F, a 50% reduction in tensile strength will occur at 200 hours for PLAVIS-N (unfilled), 220 hours for PLAVIS G15 (15% Graphite) and 360 hours for PLAVIS-G40 (40% graphite filled).  

In a vacuum or oxygen void environment, the heat resistance of PLAVIS is even higher.  Since PLAVIS has no melting point unlike other polyimides or ther­moplastics such as PEEK, PAI, PEI; the strength vs. temperature of PLAVIS is very linear and predictable. For applications where part dimensions and tolerances are critical over a range of temperature, PLAVIS is an excellent.
