Details of Physical Properties

AURUM™ has a high Tg (245℃)
➡Better temperature stiffness at 150℃ and higher than PEEK.

AURUM™ is thermoplastic resin
➡Can be fiber reinforced to improve initial strength.(modulus of elasticity 3 > 22 GPa ).

[Usage Applications]

thrust washers, seal rings, bearings

Aircraft engine components,

IC trays,

Resins for CFRP,

Electric wire coating

*Tg = glass transition temperature

AURUM™ is thermoplastic,
➡Can be filled with additives to control its coefficient of expansion.

AURUM™ has a highTg (245℃)
➡Stable coefficient of expansion at up to 245℃

[Usage Applications]

thrust washers, seal rings, turbo seals, bearings, pistons, oil pumps,

Oil seals for construction machinery,

IC trays

*Tg = glass transition temperature

AURUM™ is thermoplastic polyimide
➡Can be injection molded and unnecessary for cutting machining.

AURUM™ has 100℃ higher Tg (245℃) than PEEK
➡Better heat resistance and dimensional stability than PEEK

[Usage Applications]

thrust washers, seal rings, , bearings, pistons, oil pumps,

Oil seals for construction machinery,

Aircraft engine components,

IC trays,

Resins for CFRP,

Electric wire coating

*Tg = glass transition temperature

AURUM™ has the highest critical PV value of any thermoplastic resin.
(in a non lubricated / oil lubricated condition sliding)

[Usage Applications]

thrust washers, seal rings, , bearings, oil pumps, pistons,

Oil seals for construction machinery

AURUM™ has lower outgas properties at high temperature ranges than PEEK and non thermoplastic PI

[Usage Applications]

IC trays, liquid phase panel manufacturing tools,

Bearings,

Electric wire coating

AURUM™ exhibits better radiation resistance than PEEK and non thermoplastic PI (reduction in tensile strength is minimal)

[Usage Applications]

switches and socket components related to nuclear power,

Bearings,

Electric wire coating,

Resins for CFRP

AURUM™ has a higher Tg (245℃) than PEEK
➡Superior creep resistance even at a high temp.

[Usage Applications]

thrust washers, seal rings,

Oil seals for construction machinery,

Bearings,

Electric wire coating

*Tg = glass transition temperature

AURUM™ has a polyimide backbone structure.
➡Excellent chemical resistance against gasoline,various lubricants, aviation fuels and cleaning agents.

[Usage Applications]

thrust washers, seal rings, turbo seals, oil pumps, pistons,

Oil seals for construction machinery,

Dialysis machine impellers,
