INSOURCES EXIM PVT LTD is a leading FEP polyimide film manufacturer in India, supplying FH (one-side coated) and FHF (both-sides coated) series to flexible circuit manufacturers, cable insulation suppliers and motor winding OEMs across India and internationally. FEP polyimide film combines the high-temperature electrical insulation of kapton-type polyimide film with the heat sealability and chemical barrier of FEP fluoropolymer — enabling adhesive-free lamination in FPC and cable manufacturing processes.

Whether you need FEP coated polyimide film for flexible printed circuits, heat-sealable coverlay, cable wrapping or motor insulation, INSOURCES supplies both FH and FHF grades directly from our Bhiwandi facility with 2–5 working day lead times and custom slit widths available.

What is FEP Polyimide Film?

FEP polyimide film is a composite film where a kapton-type polyimide (PI) base film is coated with FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) fluoropolymer on one side (FH grade) or both sides (FHF grade). The FEP coating makes the film heat sealable — it can be thermally bonded to copper foil or other substrates without adhesives, which is the standard method for manufacturing flexible printed circuit board (FPC) laminates.

FH grade (30–50 μm) is used for single-side bonding; FHF grade (51–100 μm) provides double-side bonding and maximum moisture protection from both surfaces.

Key Advantage Heat sealable — adhesive-free lamination at elevated temperature
Temperature Range -269°C to +400°C

Frequently Asked Questions — FEP Polyimide Film

What is FEP polyimide film used for?
FEP polyimide film is used for heat-sealable flexible printed circuit (FPC) laminates, coverlay films, cable and wire insulation, motor winding insulation and any application where polyimide film needs to be thermally bonded without adhesives. The FEP coating on the kapton-type base film enables adhesive-free lamination at elevated temperatures.
What is the difference between FH and FHF grades?
FH has FEP coating on one side only (30–50 μm total) — used when single-side bonding is needed. FHF has FEP coating on both sides (51–100 μm) — used for double-sided heat sealing, maximum moisture barrier and chemical protection from both surfaces. Both grades have peel strength ≥6 N/25mm.
Is FEP polyimide film a kapton-type film?
Yes. The base film is a kapton-type PMDA-ODA polyimide film, with FEP fluoropolymer coated on one or both sides. The polyimide base provides the same thermal and electrical properties as standard kapton film; the FEP coating adds heat sealability and moisture resistance.
What is the price of FEP polyimide film in India?
Price depends on grade (FH or FHF), thickness, slit width and order quantity. Contact us at info@insrcs.com or WhatsApp +91 7276671876 for bulk pricing on FEP polyimide film in India.
