August 13, 2026 No Comments

What Is High Temperature Polyimide Film?

High temperature polyimide film is a high-performance polymer film designed for applications requiring excellent thermal stability, electrical insulation and mechanical reliability. Due to its outstanding resistance to temperature changes, dimensional stability and dielectric properties, polyimide film has become an important insulation material for electronics, electrical components, automotive systems, energy equipment and other industrial applications.

FORTUNE HN Polyimide Film, manufactured by Tianjin Fortune International Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., is a high-performance polyimide film developed for demanding insulation applications. It combines excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength and electrical insulation performance to meet the requirements of industries operating under high-temperature and challenging environmental conditions.

Polyimide Temperature Resistance: Performance in Extreme Conditions

One of the most important characteristics of polyimide film is its outstanding temperature resistance. In industrial applications, insulation materials must maintain stable performance when exposed to high temperatures, temperature changes and long-term operation.

Wide Temperature Resistance Range of Polyimide Film

FORTUNE HN Polyimide Film provides excellent thermal stability across a wide temperature range, typically from -269°C to over 400°C.

This outstanding polyimide temperature resistance allows the film to maintain reliable mechanical and electrical properties under extreme conditions. Compared with conventional polymer materials, polyimide film provides better stability when used in applications requiring continuous heat exposure.

Long-Term Heat Resistance Performance

The long-term heat-resistance temperature index of FORTUNE HN Polyimide Film is ≥180°C.

For electrical insulation materials, long-term heat resistance is an important consideration because continuous thermal stress may affect insulation reliability, dimensional stability and overall service performance.

By maintaining stable properties during extended exposure to elevated temperatures, high temperature polyimide film helps support reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Excellent Dimensional Stability Under Heat

In addition to thermal resistance, dimensional stability is another important property of polyimide film.

FORTUNE HN Polyimide Film provides controlled heat contraction performance:

  • Heat contraction rate at 150°C: ≤1.0%
  • Heat contraction rate at 400°C: ≤3.0%

Stable dimensional performance helps reduce deformation during high-temperature processing and operation, making polyimide film suitable for precision insulation applications.

Key Properties of High Temperature Polyimide Film

A high temperature resistant film needs to provide a combination of thermal stability, electrical insulation and mechanical strength. These properties determine whether the material can meet the requirements of different industrial applications.

Reliable Electrical Insulation Performance

Polyimide film is widely used as an electrical insulation material because it maintains stable dielectric performance under demanding conditions.

FORTUNE HN Polyimide Film provides the following electrical properties:

  • Electrical operating frequency intensity: ≥150 MV/m 
  • Surface resistivity at 200°C: ≥1.0 × 10¹³ Ω 
  • Volume resistivity at 200°C: ≥1.0 × 10¹⁰ Ω·m 
  • Relative dielectric constant (48–62Hz): 3.5 ± 0.4 
  • Dielectric loss factor (48–62Hz): ≤4.0 × 10⁻³ 

These characteristics make the film suitable for applications requiring stable insulation performance under high-temperature conditions.

Strong Mechanical Strength and Flexibility

Although polyimide film is thin and lightweight, it provides excellent mechanical performance.

For FORTUNE HN Polyimide Film with thickness specifications from 0.0125 mm to 0.1 mm, tensile strength reaches:

  • MD: ≥135 MPa
  • TD: ≥115 MPa

For thicknesses from 0.125 mm to 0.25 mm, tensile strength reaches:

  • MD/TD: ≥95 MPa

The elongation of FORTUNE HN Polyimide Film is ≥35%, providing good flexibility and resistance to tearing during processing and installation.
