Temperature Resistance | Mobile phone heat shields, speaker grills | Withstands 250°C continuous (ASTM D638) ▲ Industry: 200°C ▲ Advanced: 300°C ▲▲ | Ensures safety in high-heat electronics (e.g., smartphone processors) | Higher temp ratings increase cost (Advanced version: +20% premium) |
Material Composition | Consumer electronics, aerospace parts | Polyimide film (ASTM D4483) ▲ Industry: Polyester ▲ Advanced: Polyimide + ceramic coating ▲▲ | Superior chemical/thermal stability vs polyester | Heavier than polyester (Advanced: adds rigidity but limits flexibility) |
Hardness/Flexibility | Curved phone screens, wearable devices | Soft, flexural modulus < 1000 MPa (ASTM D790) ▲ Industry: Rigid ▲ Advanced: Ultra-flexible (500 MPa) ▲▲ | Conforms to complex shapes (e.g., foldable phones) | Softness may reduce puncture resistance (Advanced: 15% thinner but weaker) |
Transparency | Speaker mesh covers, camera lens filters | Transparent (ISO 13178 clarity > 85%) ▲ Industry: Opaque ▲ Advanced: 92% clarity ▲▲ | Enhances visibility in speaker grills and camera modules | Transparency reduces UV resistance (Advanced: +10% cost for UV coating) |
Application Suitability | Electronics packaging, medical devices | Certified for EMI shielding (MIL-STD-285) ▲ Industry: Basic insulation ▲ Advanced: Medical-grade biocompatibility ▲▲ | Blocks electromagnetic interference in smartphones/computers | Advanced version requires specialized sterilization (adds 30% production time) |
Durability/Elongation | Automotive wiring, industrial gaskets | Elongation at break 120% (ASTM D638) ▲ Industry: 80% ▲ Advanced: 150% ▲▲ | Prevents cracking in vibration-heavy environments (e.g., car speakers) | Higher elongation reduces tensile strength (Advanced: 10% lower load-bearing) |
