Polyimide films and polyimide adhesive tapes

Polyimide films for high-temperature, electronic and insulation applications

Polyimide films are among the highest-performance engineering films available for demanding applications in electronics, electrical engineering, e-mobility, battery technology, high-temperature insulation and industrial processing. They are characterised by an excellent combination of temperature resistance, electrical insulation, chemical resistance, mechanical stability and low shrinkage.

cmc Klebetechnik supplies polyimide films and polyimide adhesive tapes in various designs - as rolls, cut-to-size pieces, die-cut parts, single-sided or double-sided adhesive as well as in customized further processing solutions. Your existing Kapton site highlights precisely this combination of material expertise, diversity of variants and further processing.

Your benefits: 

  • very high temperature resistance for demanding industrial applications
  • good electrical insulation effect
  • high dielectric strength
  • gute chemische Beständigkeit sowie stabile mechanische Eigenschaften
  • suitable for electronics, electric motors, transformers, batteries and flexible circuits
  • available as film, adhesive tape, laminate or die-cut part
  • individual further processing by cmc: coating, cutting, punching, laminating
  • various material options depending on requirements - e.g. Kapton® or Zenimid™

Typical areas of application for polyimide films


Polyimide films are used wherever standard films reach their limits. Typical fields of application are

  • electrical insulation at high temperatures
  • High-temperature adhesive tapes for electronics production and industrial processes
  • flexible printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies
  • Covers and masking in soldering and production processes
  • Battery applications and e-mobility
  • Insulation systems in motors, generators and transformers
  • thermal management in demanding electronic applications

Not all polyimide films are the same


Depending on the application, polyimide films differ significantly in:

  • Temperature behavior
  • electrical properties
  • mechanical strength
  • Shrinkage behavior
  • Surface and adhesive properties
  • Availability in certain thicknesses and designs
  • Suitability for adhesive tapes, laminations or punched parts

This is why cmc supports you in selecting the right solution - tailored to your temperature requirements, processing method and desired delivery form.

Which polyimide film is right for your application?

The right choice depends on several factors:

  • Which temperatures occur permanently or briefly?
  • Is a particularly high level of electrical insulation required?
  • Should the film be adhesive or non-adhesive?
  • Is the material required as a roll, sheet or punched part?
  • Is it about masking, insulation, thermal management or mechanical function?
  • Is there a specific brand or specification requirement?
