What They Say
There’s a new polymer film material from Panasonic Electronic Materials that it is calling Beyolex. The firm said that its properties are:
“It has very high temperature resistance, with a thermal degradation temperature above 300°C. It has a high surface energy and is a compatible with a wide variety of inks, pastes, films, coatings, and adhesives. It is very soft (a modulus of less than 5 MPa), which makes it attractive for on-body applications or where conformity to complex geometries is required. It’s stretchable up to 200%, has ultra-low hysteresis, less than 0.1%, and can be stretched for thousands of cycles”.
The film is 100 microns thick and is delivered on a PEN carrier with a PET top sheet. The high-temperature PEN functions as a mechanical stabilizer during processing and the PET protects the film during transportation, the firm said. It can be purchased online from Digi-Key.

What We Think
We don’t cover materials in any depth, but I was intrigued to see this material and was surprised by the ability of it to cope with high temperatures, especially. (BR)
