FAQ
What is the recommended insulation thickness for achieving the desired breakdown voltage?
As a rough guideline, approximately 200 V/µm can be assumed.
Which insulation is most suitable for medical wire applications?
Polyimide is the ideal choice due to its exceptional thermal properties, excellent chemical resistance, and high resistance to radiation.
What is the preferred method for stripping wire insulations?
Among the options available, laser stripping stands out as the cleanest and most precise procedure, unlike mechanical stripping that poses a risk of wire breakage and messy chemical stripping.
What are the common methods of tube manufacturing, and what are their advantages and disadvantages?
Dip-technology allows for the tightest tolerances and very small diameters. On the other hand, extrusions can be highly complex and multi-lumen, both being continuous processes.
How do Parylene and Plasma coatings differ?
Parylene is a surface coating applied in the micrometer range, while Plasma coatings penetrate the material at the nanometer level.
