P25N consist of a polyimide resin system suitable for military, commercial or industrial electronic applications requiring superior performance and the utmost in thermal properties. These products utilize a polyimide and thermoplastic blend resin, fully cured without the use of Methylenedianiline (MDA). This results in a polymer with a high Tg without the characteristic difficulties of brittleness and low initial bond strength associated with traditional thermoset polyimides.

Polyimide /PI Glide™ Tubing is a class of high performing polymers well established in industry for their outstanding chemical, thermal, and mechanical performance properties. Polyimides typically do not melt before decomposing; thus, they demonstrate excellent thermal stability in high as well as low temperatures. Polyimides also exhibit good dielectric properties giving them substantial presence in a number of electrical applications. Zeus polyimide tubing brings these properties and more for both medical and non-medical precision tubing applications. Polyimide tubing provides excellent strength and abrasion resistance. Polyimide tubing also maintains its properties even at very small dimensions. For applications where additional lubricity is needed, PI Glide™, a PI / PTFE composite, provides a lower coefficient of friction for reduced surface resistance of the tubing. Zeus polyimide tubing is also available in a layered or composite construction using a combination of PI and PI Glide™ to suit a variety of tubing requirements. Mechanical properties, lubricious surface, and many other tubing properties can be tailored in this way. Choosing Zeus PI and PI Glide™ tubing for your catheter construction needs allows users to consolidate their components with a single best-in-class supplier.

PI Glide™ Custom Coating is a group of high performing polymers known for their exceptional chemical, thermal, and mechanical performance properties. These materials demonstrate exceptional thermal stability in high and low temperatures and are extremely flame resistant. PI Glide™, our PI / PTFE composite, is a high lubricity polyimide blend for applications that require lower surface friction yet do not require the performance of pure PTFE. PI Glide™ maintains broad chemical resistance and good dielectric properties in addition to its reduced coefficient of friction. PI Glide™ is available in tubing and as a coating for over-the-wire (OTW, insulated wire) applications. For insulated wire, PI Glide™ provides a low-friction wire for easier deployment or insertion into tubing. With PI Glide™ tubing, inside diameters offer low resistance to inserted devices or tools (pushability) while the outside remains bondable without etching. PI Glide™ can also be produced in a layered composite construction with our conventional polyimide or with PI Glide™ alone. Composite layering polyimide and PI Glide™ allows users to further tailor polyimide tubing or coating properties.
