Vespel® SP-1

Vespel® SP-1

Vespel® S polyimide family of parts and shapes with differing sets of attributes The Vespel® S Family of products are highly durable polyimides and are used in demanding applications where exceptional thermal resistance, low wear and/or low friction, strength and impact resistance are desired.

DuPont™ Vespel® SP-1 parts and shapes are specified for their excellent physical properties, including electrical and thermal insulation at high temperatures. SP-1 is an unfilled polymer.
