UGP materials produce CRYS, the only polyimide with high crystallinity worldwide. It is produced in patented hydrothermal geomimetic polymer synthesis.
UGP materials are currently in its final days of pre-founding.
This structure gives the product superior attributes in terms of:
• thermal stability
• tensile & compressive strength
• ultra-lightweight
CRYS can be used in composite materials of all kinds from the coating, sports equipment, electronics up to aeronautics. Its unique structure allows the production of very small particles to be used in all kinds of composite production processes. It can be used when sintering a composite, for usage in films and additional reinforcement for resin-based composites like carbon fibers.
The patented production process achieves both the described attributes as well as being green by reducing the need for chemical components in the production of imides. This is achieved by crystallization of the product in pure water instead of using toxic solvents and catalysts like it is currently state-of-the-art.
