When it comes to needing Versatility and Performance, Victrex APTIV film is your best choice
APTIV films provide many benefits for OEMs, designers and processors. Its versatility and high performance satisfy the increasing demand for lighter weight, durable, lower cost and eco-friendly application design. APTIV film offers the performance properties of
VICTREX® PEEK™ polymer in a film format to meet these challenges. Benefits include; light weight (lower specific gravity and thickness), miniaturisation, longevity, durability and toughness and streamlined processing to reduce overall systems cost, eco-friendly and recyclable.
APTIV film key properties include:
High Heat Resistance
APTIV film has a UL RTI rating of 220°C (428°F) for mechanical use without impact and 200°C (392°F) for electrical use for 25 – 125 micron films (1-5 mil), and is capable of withstanding lead free solder processing temperatures of up to 300°C.
Excellent Wear Properties
Inherently lubricious, APTIV film has a very smooth surface finish and low particulation. Lpv rating is 145 MPa-m/min (69,000 psi-ft/min) without the presence of lubricants.
Low Moisture Absorption
APTIV film resists moisture that can adversely affect electrical and dimensional properties.
Purity
APTIV film is exceptionally low outgassing and extractable qualities.
Broad Chemical Resistance
Insoluble in all common solvents, APTIV film has excellent resistance to acids, bases, oxidizing agents, hydrocarbons, salts, and steam. Superior chemical resistance than many exotic metals. Properties unaffected by exposure to steam at 200°C (392°F) after 2,000 hours.
Environmentally Friendly
APTIV film is light weight, recyclable, halogen free, withstands lead free soldering process temperatures, is RoHS compliant and can be used to manufacture products compliant with the same directive.
High Strength and Toughness
APTIV film has the highest stiffness and resistance to cyclic fatigue of any thermoplastic. Strength is maintained well over the glass transition temperature (Tg). Excellent tear strength, puncture resistance and acoustic properties.
Electrical Stability
APTIV film has very stable electrical properties over a wide range of temperatures, frequencies and humidities.
Radiation Resistance
APTIV film withstands over 109 rads exposure without embrittlement.
Low Smoke and Toxic Gas Emission
APTIV film has good flammability without the use of flame retardants, low toxicity of combustion gases. Inherently halogen free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21.
FDA Food Contact and Dairy 3A Certified
APTIV film grades 1000, 1100, 2000 and 2100 may be safely used for repeated food contact. They comply with the compositional requirements of FDA 21 CFR 177.2415, Commission Directive 1935/2004/EC and Commission Directive 2002/72/EC, and the amendments up to 2005/79/EC.
Excellent Barrier Properties
APTIV film provides an effective barrier against many liquids and gases.
