Dupont Vespel Scp-5009: Polyimide Isostatic Shapes
DuPont™ Vespel® SCP-5009 provides material solutions for high wear and friction applications under high
operating pressure and elevated temperature environments. Vespel® SCP-5009 shapes have a low
coefficient of thermal expansion and provide good sealing as well as outstanding mechanical properties
like high compressive strength and low creep, even at these extreme conditions.
Some data presented below are based on limited production runs and are subject to revision as new
knowledge and experience become available.
