Hostaphan RE
Film for capacitors
®
Hostaphan RE is a biaxially oriented, heat set film, made of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and characterised by
outstanding physical data. The film can be easily used with normal capacitor production lines. ®Hostaphan RE is
made from a very pure raw material that was specially developed for demanding dielectric applications.
In the ultra thin range, D025 was specially designed for very compact capacitor constructions. Its roughness value Ra is
about 10 nm below that of the standard film type in the corresponding thickness.
V024, which is especially strong lengthwise, is available in the 5 to 12µm range.
Characteristics:
- High mechanical strength and stiffnes for easy processing
- Particularly suited for metallizing, reliable self-healing characteristics
- Good electric values, such as high dielectric strength and favourable permittivity
- High capacity yield due to optimum surface structure
- Very good thermal characteristics, providing large range of operating temperatures for capacitors
