The Kaladex film is a PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) solution designed to meet the most demanding industrial environments, particularly in the energy, mobility, and power electronics sectors.
In these applications, manufacturers must contend with critical constraints: rising temperatures, high electrical stresses, component miniaturisation, and increased reliability requirements. In this context, the choice of insulating materials becomes a key lever for performance and durability.
The Kaladex film presents itself as a strategic alternative between standard PET films and high-performance materials like polyimides, offering an excellent balance between cost, thermal performance, and dimensional stability.
ADDEV Materials supports manufacturers at every stage of the project: from selecting the right Kaladex grade to tailor-made processing (cutting, laminating, combining) in order to deliver components that can be directly integrated into your systems.
The Kaladex film is widely used in systems requiring reliable and durable electrical insulation:
Thanks to its continuous operating temperature of up to 180°C and its superior rigidity, it guarantees stable performance in critical environments.
Kaladex and Teonex films both belong to the PEN film family, but have different positioning depending on the applications.
The film Kaladex particularly stands out for:
The Kaladex film is a biaxially oriented PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) polyester film, developed to offer superior performance to standard PET films while remaining more accessible than polyimide films.
Its specific molecular structure gives it a unique combination of mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, particularly suited to demanding industrial environments. Notably, it exhibits a higher glass transition temperature (121°C compared to 78°C for PET), as well as excellent dimensional stability at high temperatures.
Thanks to these characteristics, the film Kaladex allows:
It is thus used in critical applications such as electric motor insulation, flexible printed circuits (FPC), high-performance capacitors, and energy storage systems.
ADDEV Materials supports industrial manufacturers in selecting and transforming Kaladex films for direct integration into their systems.
Our capabilities include:
The Kaladex film is used in many demanding industrial sectors:
Its unique combination of properties allows it to replace PET in critical applications and avoid the cost of polyimide.
Choosing a film Kaladex Pen depends on several technical parameters.
The choice of film depends directly on the thermal constraints.
Kaladex allows for use up to 180°C, ideal for harsh environments.
For high-voltage applications, favour grades offering high dielectric strength and excellent electrical stability.
Its high rigidity and low deformation ensure excellent performance in stressed systems.
Kaladex is easily transformed like a PET film, which simplifies its integration without altering existing processes.
