Meldin® 7000
Meldin® Polyimides
7000 PI Based

A thermosetting polyimide, the Meldin® 7000 material series exhibits extremely high dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. Testing has shown that Meldin® materials have less than 0.04% variation from their original dimensions after cycling from 73°F (22.77°C) to 500°F (260°C) over a two-day period.

This material is able to withstand thermal shocks very well, adding to the dimensional stability of the material. One particular grade - Meldin® 7022 exhibits an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, resulting in a thermal expansion behavior similar to aluminum.

These compounds can also be formulated with other fillers to increase the mechanical and thermal performances of the final parts. In addition, the Meldin® 7000 PI series is processed via direct forming which enhances the cost-effectiveness and productivity.

The self-lubricating grades of Meldin® do not melt when exposed to high load (P), or high speed (V) applications, as compared to more traditional PTFE or thermoplastic polymers. P x V limits for Meldin® self-lubricating grades exceed 300,000 psi·ft/min (10.5 W/mm2) in dry environments and past 1,000,000 psi·ft/min (35.0 W/mm2) in liquid or grease lubricated environments.

Is this Material PFAS-Free*?

  • Depending on the application and equipment specifications, we may be able to manufacture this solution PFAS-Free*.

  • * PFAS-Free here means we do not intentionally add PFAS material in the product, but does not exclude the possibility of traces, as these materials are common in the environment.

Meldin® 7000 is a popular choice for structural parts in aviation and other applications where metal replacement is desirable. The purity of Meldin® in combination with its other properties, makes this material the ideal choice for semi-conductor applications, successfully replacing aluminum, ceramic, and other high-performance plastics. The Meldin® 7021 line has 15% by weight graphite fillers, which makes it self-lubricating. This provides customers the best all-around choice for high-temperature bearings, seals, thrust washers, and other low-wear applications.
