Vespel® SP-21

Vespel® SP-21

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-21 parts and shapes provide low wear and friction for bearing, thrust washers, and dynamic seals. SP-21 is a graphite-filled polymer.
