Temperature Use Range: -100ºF to 500ºF (-73ºC to 260ºC)
• At room temperature, the properties of Kapton® and polyimide polyester films are similar, however,
as the temperature increases or decreases, the properties of the Kapton® film are less affected than
polyester.
• Kapton® film does not soften at elevated temperatures, thus the film provides an excellent release
surface at elevated temperatures.
To obtain best performance, use this product within 12 months from date of manufacture and store under
normal conditions of 60º to 80ºF (15º to 21ºC) and 40 to 50% R.H. in the original carton.
