Kapton Plastic Washers
Key Properties
- Superior electrical insulation
- Chemically inert
- Flame retardant (UL 94 V-0)
- Radiation resistant
Why specify Kapton for plastic washers?
Kapton® is DuPont's polyimide film, the gold standard for thin-gauge high-temperature electrical insulation. Cannon Gasket die-cuts custom Kapton washers and spacers for aerospace electronics, motor and transformer insulation, flexible printed circuits, and high-temperature applications where mil-spec or aerospace performance is required.
Properties of Kapton plastic washers
Cannon Gasket cuts Kapton plastic washers to your drawing in durometer and thickness specifications of N/A (polyimide film). Virtually inert to all organic solvents, acids, and oils. Inherently flame retardant (UL 94 V-0). Excellent radiation resistance.
Kapton tolerances and customization
Standard dimensional tolerances on Kapton plastic washersland around ±0.010" to ±0.015" on OD and ID, depending on material durometer and thickness. Tighter tolerances are available on select grades. Cannon Gasket cuts Kapton to custom profiles in-house and matches lead times to your production volume. PSA backing, pad printing, custom packaging, and kitting are all on the menu when you need them.
How Kapton Performs
- Continuous service from -452°F to +752°F (extraordinarily wide range). - Excellent dielectric strength — premium electrical insulator. - Available in thicknesses from 0.0005" (HN-50) to 0.005" (HN-500) and thicker. - Resistant to most solvents, oils, and high-temperature aging. - HN, FN (FEP-coated), and CR (corona-resistant) grades available.
Common Washer Applications
Aerospace electronics, satellite components, transformer and motor slot insulation, flexible circuit substrates, semiconductor process equipment, high-temperature sensor insulators, and rocketry / propulsion electronics.
Manufacturing Methods
Die-cut on flat-bed presses, compound-die-cut for tight tolerance, kiss-cut on PSA-backed Kapton, and flash-cut for prototyping.
