VESPEL (Sheets, Rods and Tubular Bars)

Vespel is a high performance polyimide material. It will not melt and can operate continuously from cryogenic temperatures to 288°C with short-term exposure to 482°C. Excellent performance in severe environments demanding low wear and long life. At Johnston Industrial Plastics, we provide our customers with the high quality Vespel sheets, rods and tubular bars across Canada
