Bespel® Round Bar (Grade 9 φ6.3 to φ152.4)
SP-1/SP-21/SP-22/SP-211/SP-3/SCP-5000・5009・5050・50094
For parts in high-temperature sliding, vacuum, and plasma environments. Selling Bespel® round bars in 9 grades.
Vespel (R) is a polyimide (PI) resin from DuPont. The representative grade SP-1 can withstand continuous use temperatures of 300°C and intermittent temperatures of 480°C, offering excellent dimensional stability and electrical insulation at high temperatures. Its greatest feature is the ability to choose from different grades with varying fillers according to the application. KIRIURI.COM offers unfilled SP-1, graphite-reinforced SP-21, SP-22, SP-211, vacuum-grade SP-3, and plasma-resistant and chemical-resistant SCP-5000 series (SCP-5000/5009/5050/50094), with round rods available in 122 sizes (φ6.3 to φ152.4). We also accommodate cutting to the required length and quantity. Material property tables and material explanation PDFs are available for download.

Applications/Examples of results
- Semiconductor manufacturing equipment (components for plasma environments, insulating components, wafer transport components) - Vacuum equipment (sliding parts requiring low outgassing: SP-3) - High-temperature sliding parts (non-lubricated bearings, bushes, seals: SP-21/SP-211) - Precision equipment (parts requiring dimensional stability under temperature changes: SP-22) - Electrical insulating components (areas maintaining insulation at high temperatures: SP-1) [Selection Guide] For electrical insulation, use SP-1; for sliding and low friction, use SP-21 (for even lower friction, use SP-211); for minimizing thermal expansion, use SP-22; for vacuum environments, use SP-3; for plasma and chemical environments, the SCP-5000 series is recommended. [Note] If strength is required below 260°C, consider PEEK, which is advantageous in terms of cost and machinability.
Detailed information
-

Bespel® SP-1 (Brown) unfilled basic grade It has excellent wear resistance and electrical insulation properties, and can be used at extremely low temperatures up to 300°C (intermittently up to 480°C). This is the grade with the highest elongation rate among Bespel products. Suitable for insulating parts and general high-temperature components. Round rods φ6.3 to φ152.4.
-

Bespel® SP-21 (black) graphite reinforced low friction grade. 15% graphite filled. It is a low wear and low friction grade suitable for bearings, thrust washers, and dynamic seals. For bearings, bushes, and sliding parts under high temperatures. Round bars φ6.3 to φ152.4.
-

Bespel® SP-22 (black) low thermal expansion grade. 40% filled with graphite. It has an extremely low thermal expansion rate, with a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of aluminum, making it a low wear and low friction grade. Suitable for precision parts in environments with temperature variations. Round rods φ6.3 to φ152.4.
-

Bespel® SP-211 (black) low friction grade. Filled with 15% graphite and 10% PTFE. It has an even lower friction coefficient than SP-21, providing low friction over a wide range of conditions and low wear up to 300°C. Suitable for sliding parts without lubrication. Round rods φ6.3 to φ152.4.
-

Bespel® SP-3 (dark brown) grade for vacuum and dry environments. 15% filled with molybdenum disulfide. Suppresses gas release in vacuum and dry environments, making it suitable for sliding applications. For vacuum equipment, space applications, and sliding parts in dry environments. Round bars φ6.3 to φ152.4.
-

Bespel® SCP-5000 (Brown) Plasma-Resistant and Chemical-Resistant Grade Unfilled high-grade polyimide. With high elastic modulus and high surface hardness, it excels in strength and rigidity at high temperatures. Superior plasma resistance and chemical resistance compared to SP-1, suitable for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Round rods φ6.3 to φ70.
-

Bespel (R) SCP-50094 (Black) SCP-5000 Series Grade This grade is designed for applications requiring high toughness and chemical resistance. The SCP series excels in plasma resistance and chemical resistance compared to SP-1. Round bars φ6.3 to φ63.5.
-

Bespel (R) SCP-5009 (Black) SCP-5000 Series Grade The SCP series excels in plasma resistance and chemical resistance compared to SP-1, and is used in environments exposed to plasma and chemicals, such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Round bar φ6.3 to φ63.5.
-

Bespel (R) SCP-5050 (Black) SCP-5000 Series Grade The SCP series excels in plasma resistance and chemical resistance compared to SP-1, and is used in environments exposed to plasma and chemicals, such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Round bar φ6.3 to φ63.5.
