Polyethylennaphthalat (PEN)

Goodfellow offers high-quality polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) for advanced applications in research and industry, providing this versatile polymer in various forms to meet diverse needs. PEN is characterized by its excellent thermal stability, high strength, and superior barrier properties compared to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). These attributes make PEN particularly valuable in industries such as electronics, packaging, and automotive. In the electronics sector, PEN is used for flexible printed circuits, dielectric films, and capacitor substrates due to its excellent electrical insulation and dimensional stability. The packaging industry utilizes PEN in high-performance food and beverage containers, benefiting from its superior oxygen and moisture barrier properties. In the automotive sector, PEN finds applications in under-the-hood components and thermal insulation films. Emerging technologies leveraging PEN include advanced flexible displays and next-generation solar cells. Goodfellow's provision of PEN supports ongoing research in materials science, particularly in the development of high-performance polymers for energy storage and electronic applications. The unique combination of properties in PEN ensures its continued importance in both scientific research and industrial contexts where thermal stability and barrier performance are critical.
