## [Why Polyimide Tubing Is the Top Choice Across Industries](https://market.americandurafilm.com/blog/large-diameter-polyimide-tubing)

Durable and Diverse Features of Large Diameter Polyimide Tubing Because polyimide tubing is a thermoset polymer, it cannot be re-flowed or melted. Thermoset materials are typically durable materials due to their strong covalent chemical bonds that hold the structural units together on the molecular level. This means that polyimide tubing, among its other impressive characteristics, cannot be melted. That’s a preferential property for large diameter polyimide tubing that is used so often in such a wide range of applications—from medical devices and industrial applications to the electrical and aerospace industries. Polyimide tubing is chosen across various industries for its many other properties, because it also offers superior thermal resistance, high voltage resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, along with other capabilities like outgassing, anti-nuclear radiation, and optimal flexibility.

The Philae Lander Wants its Time in the Sun As you might imagine, we are as fascinated with Rosetta’s success as are any of the scientists that have worked on or observed this mission for the last 10-plus years. It’s as riveting a thriller as any sci-fi movie—only this isn’t made of the stuff of someone’s imagination (well, it was at some point!). It is now a reality and made, in part, of material we handle every day at American Durafilm: Kapton® film.

High-performance coatings such as Teflon® are used widely—across industries, and for a multitude of processes and products. The versatility of these functional coatings allows for application to a wide variety of substrate materials, part sizes, and configurations, always adding value far beyond the inherent nonstick qualities that Teflon is most noted for. This allows for manufacturers to apply the unique attributes of high-performance coatings to a diversity of substrates such as ceramics, formed carbon, glass, steel alloys, nickel alloys, titanium, aluminum, copper, brass, and various other metals.

Based on our previous blog post, “It’s Easy Being Green with Tefzel® ETFE: 8 Green Properties,” it is evident that Tefzel ETFE film is the best choice for a greenhouse covering. No other material comes as close to the Tefzel ETFE film in creating a sound greenhouse effect. Before we delve into the advantages of using Tefzel ETFE film in building a greenhouse, it is important to know about the greenhouse effect. We’re not talking about on a global scale, but in an actual greenhouse.
