Polyimide materials are polymer materials which are lightweight, flexible, and resistant to chemical and heat. Colourless polyimide films are flexible, versatile and colourless suitable for demanding applications. Application potential in medical industry for drug delivery systems through transparent tubes will favour industry growth.  Moreover, shifting trends towards renewables sources of energy has led to rise in demand for photovoltaic cells thus driving product demand.

Colourless Polyimide Films Market Outlook

Colourless polyimide films are optically transparent, high chemical resistance and thermos mechanical properties. These properties make it suitable for flexible printed circuit board, lighting equipment and flexible display.   Aromatic polyamides change its colour and tend to disintegrate at high fabricating temperature, thus promoting demand for colourless polyimide films to attain consistency and efficiency. High thermal stability and optical transparency along with tensile strength properties which are used in modern electronic devices mainly for flexible displays and to cover windows for flexible AMOLED devices which is likely to have positive impact on product demand.
