Type: Robustness fluorinated CPI across a spectrum of demanding environments and applications driving its incorporation in diverse sectors

Alicyclic colorless polyimide films(CPI) are distinguished by their excellent optical transparency and intrinsic yellow color minimization, making them particularly suitable for flexible displays and electronic applications where color fidelity is crucial. These films offer a balance between thermal resistance and optical properties. These are preferred in applications demanding high optical clarity and durability, such as flexible OLED displays and 3D sensors. Fluorinated CPI incorporates fluorine atoms, which enhance their thermal stability and chemical resistance. This variant demonstrates reduced moisture absorption compared to its non-fluorinated counterparts, making it ideal for harsh environmental conditions. Noncoplanar CPI features structural modifications that enhance flexibility without compromising thermal or mechanical properties. This makes them particularly adept for flexible printed circuits and wearable technology. They are chosen for applications that demand ultra-flexibility and robustness, including wearable devices and flexible solar cells.
