Temperature Resistance

Definition

Ability to maintain stable performance in extreme temperatures.

Historical Background

1960s: silicone/polyimide extended range to -60C to 300C.

Example

Ordinary tape deforms at 50C; Kapton works at 260C. Like climate adaptability.

Formula

Range = Tg (low) ~ Thermal Decomposition Temp (high)

Core Concepts

Molecular chain stability: no breaking at high temps, no freezing at low.

Extended Applications

Low: -60C; room: 0-60C; high: 150-260C; ultra-high: 300C+; wide: -40C to 150C.
