Film GradesAPTIV film is available in severalgrades according to the specific needsof the end use application. Withineach grade a broad range ofthicknesses are available from 6 to750 microns (0.25 to 30 mils). Thestandard width of APTIV film is 610 mm(24 in), although some films can beprovided in widths up to 1450 mm (57 in). On request, the stock rolls offilm can be further slit by Victrex to50 mm (2 in) width. Matte/Gloss andGloss/Gloss surface finishes arestandard. Other surface finishes maybe available upon request.

1000 SeriesAPTIV 1000 series films are unfilled semi-crystalline films. Available inthicknesses from 8 to 750 microns,they are typically the mostly commonlyused grades in the product range.

1100 SeriesAPTIV 1100 series are mineral-filledsemi-crystalline films with the fillercontent being available at twoloadings according to the applicationneeds. The films are available inthicknesses from 12 microns upward.

2100 SeriesAPTIV 2100 series are mineral-filledamorphous films. Thicknesses areavailable from 25 microns upward.The film is typically specified whereeither a higher modulus or lowercoefficient of thermal expansion isrequired and are often processed tothe semi-crystalline form using athermoforming process.

Secondary ProcessesAPTIV film can be subjected to a widerange of secondary process operations:

s Plasma surface treatment for thepromotion of adhesion.

s Metallization using a variety ofdeposition and lamination processes.

s Thermoforming into highlydetailed shaped parts.

s Adhesiveless heat lamination toother polymers and metals.

s Application of specialized coatings.

These secondary processes allowdesigners and engineers to obtain thebenefits of APTIV film properties in avariety of formats. (See pages 10 and11 for further details.)

The film is typically specified whereeither a higher modulus or lowercoefficient of thermal expansion isrequired.

1300 BlackAPTIV 1300 Black is a cosmetic gradeunfilled semi-crystalline film whichprovides the same properties as theAPTIV 1000 series natural color film. It is a suitable option when dark coloris a design requirement for applicationssuch as acoustic speakers. Thicknessesrange from 50 to 100 microns.

2000 SeriesAPTIV 2000 series films are unfilledamorphous films available inthicknesses from 6 microns up to 300microns.

Application Case Studies…

Mobile Phone Speaker DiaphragmsAPTIV film is frequently chosen to meet the increasingdemands of the mobile phone speaker diaphragmapplication which requires diaphragms to handle extremelyhigh power inputs which produce increasingly hightemperatures while producing excellent sound qualityin smaller and smaller packages. APTIV films provide asignificant improvement in processability, acousticperformance – especially in low frequency response,durability, high temperatureperformance exceeding 220°C(428°F), chemical resistance, tearresistance and fatigue resistanceversus other high performancefilms on the market.

Flexible Film Sensors APTIV film has been selected for a variety of flexiblefilm sensors for its ability to withstand the exactingdemands of this application. APTIV film increases thereliability of the sensors ensuring they don’t fail whiledelivering the best combination of friction and wearproperties combined with high heat resistance, chemicaland radiation resistance, purity and electric insulation.In addition, the film is hydrolytically stable with verylow moisture absorption and permeability making it an ideal material forsensors used in a wider range of harsh environments.

Medical Equipment Laser Marked LabelsWhen labels fade or fall off equipment they areunreadable. APTIV film reduces the risk of this productfailure. As such it has been specified for highly durablelaser markable medical labels because of its excellentresistance to aggressive cleaning and disinfecting agentsused in demanding surgicalenvironments. APTIV filmlabels can be readily printedusing laser marking as wellas a number of otherconventional printingtechniques.

Hot Wrapped Electrical InsulationUnlike traditional polyimide (PI) insulation which requiresan adhesive layer, APTIV film can be directly heat laminatedaround copper wire to make an adhesive-less, completelysealed, highly durable insulation layer. The elimination ofadhesives allows for a thinner insulation wrap leading toimproved thermal conductivity. It was selected to replacePI for the manufacture of high efficiency flat wire motorcoils because it resists the high strain bending processwhich caused other materials to delaminate and fail thusincreasing product reliability andmanufacturing yield. Its outstandingelectrical insulation properties andenhanced chemical and hydrolysisresistance improve operation inharsh environments.

Heat ExchangerBy replacing metal in its spiral plate heat exchangers withAPTIV film, the manufacturer was able to enhance thedesign of the exchanger, reduce weight, improveperformance and reduce overall systems cost. In thisdesign, APTIV film provides the right combination of hightemperature performance and chemical resistance. It provides an effectivebarrier against manyliquids and gases, ishalogen-free, andwithstands lead-freesoldering processtemperatures.

Aerospace Insulation SystemsCommercial aircraft producers and insulation manufacturersare actively developing new lightweight thermal acousticblanket (TAB) insulation systems constructed with APTIVPEEK polymer-based covering film. The APTIV film-basedcovering films provide an insulation solution that meets theFAA’s performance requirements while giving the airlines alighter weight solution versus traditional covering films.APTIV film-based cover film laminatesmeet FAA FAR 25.856(a) radiantpanel testing which mandates theimproved resistance to flamepropagation for thermal and acousticinsulation blankets. Cover films canalso be laminated to specializedburn-through barrier systems thatmeet FAA FAR 25.856(b).

10 APTIV Film — Versatility and Performance

Versatility and Flexibility...

Speciality SlittingVictrex has in-houseslitting and rewindingcapability to slit rolls of APTIV film, inthicknesses as low as 6 microns (0.25 mil) and into custom widths,down to 50 mm (2 in).

Die Cutting and Stamping APTIV film can be die cut toprovide customers with acomplete range of unique shapesand sizes of washers, gaskets andparts for use in their products.The majority of processors willuse mechanical methods,although laser cutting andwater jet methods have beendemonstrated with APTIV film.

Thermal LaminationAPTIV film isthermoplastic in natureand can be thermallylaminated to a varietyof substrates such asmetals, fabrics andother reinforced andnon-reinforced polymerfilms, using batchpresses and roll-to-rollprocesses. An in-house high temperature vacuumlaminating press system allows bonding of the APTIV filmto the substrate without the use of adhesives. Theversatility to produce multi-layer substrates incorporatingAPTIV film allows engineers to develop solutions tailoredto their specific needs.

Secondary ProcessesVictrex APTIV film facilitates a wide range of secondaryprocesses which allow designers and engineers to obtainthe performance properties of APTIV film in a variety offorms. In addition to in-house capabilities, which includeprototype-scale thermoforming and lamination along withslitting and surface treatment, Victrex has a global networkof conversion partners who are expert in the use of APTIVfilm to assist with various operations, including:s Adhesions Surface treatmentss Coatingss Speciality slittings Die cutting and stampings Thermal laminations Heat welding and heat sealings Thermoformings Printings Metallizations Vacuum laminations Laser marking, welding, and machining

AdhesionAPTIV film can be bonded to abroad range of substrates usinga variety of adhesives, as selectedby our customers. Surfacepreparation may be requiredincluding mechanical abrasion,or plasma treatment, in orderto achieve the best results.

Surface TreatmentsThe APTIV film production facility allows for the option ofatmospheric plasma technology for treating the surface ofthe film — this raises the surface energy to enhanceadhesion, metallization and printability.

Other traditional surfacetreatment operations canalso be used on APTIVfilm including coronadischarge treatment,flame treatment,mechanical abrasion andchemical etching.

Laser Marking, Welding, and MachiningAPTIV film can be markedusing laser technology toproduce a good contrastprint onto the surface ofthe film. Laser technologycan also be used to cut orremove a partial layer fromthe film substrate. Laserwelding of APTIV film isalso possible.

PrintingAPTIV film is receptive to printing by normal methodssuch as screen printing, transfer printing and ink jetprinting. It is suggested that surface treatment of the filmbe considered to ensure good wetting and adhesion ofthe printing media to the surface of the film which resultsin the highest print quality.

Metallization and Specialized CoatingsAPTIV film can be metallized with a variety of processesincluding vacuum deposition, sputtering, electrolessdeposition and direct thermal bonding of metal foils.Numerous metals can be bound to APTIV filmwithout adhesives, themost common beingaluminum and copper.

Heat Welding and SealingAPTIV film can be heatwelded to itself using severaljoining techniques includingthe use of heated anvils,ultrasonic equipment orlasers. Being thermoplastic,joining can be achieved bybringing APTIV film close to(or marginally beyond) its melting point while applyingpressure and then allowing it to cool.

ThermoformingUnlike thermoset materials, being thermoplastic innature, both amorphous or crystalline grades of APTIVfilm can be shaped into a variety of parts usingthermoforming processes. Victrex has an APTIV filmprototype thermoforming facility, located in our AsiaInnovation andTechnology Center(AITC) in Shanghai,China. The centersupports APTIV filmcustomers across theworld with materialselection, prototyping,testing and analysis,and customizedtraining.
