PI Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (178920), a global leader in the polyimide (PI) materials market and an affiliate of France-based Arkema Group (ISIN: FR0010313833), has officially unveiled its new high-performance polyimide brand, Zenimid™.
The name Zenimid™ combines “Zenith”, representing the peak or pinnacle, with “Polyimide”, the company’s core expertise, reflecting PI Advanced Materials’ technological leadership in the global polyimide film market and its philosophy of pursuing the highest quality standards. The rebranding aims to reinforce the brand’s technical identity and deliver a consistent message across global touchpoints.
Zenimid™ products are available in multiple forms—including films, varnishes, powders, and molded components—and offer exceptional dimensional stability, heat and chemical resistance, flexibility, and electrical insulation.
