Imide Monomers

Based on 23 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Imide monomers appear as crystalline solids with exceptional thermal stability and rigidity. Key features include outstanding heat resistance, mechanical properties, remarkable thermal stability (often exceeding 350°F in continuous use), excellent electrical insulation characteristics, and superior dimensional stability. Imide monomers are valuable for aerospace composites, semiconductor assembly, and high-temperature electronic adhesives. 

Common types include bismaleimides, nadimides, and phenylmaleimides.  Recent innovations focus on imide monomers with lower melting points and improved solubility, addressing processing challenges while preserving the exceptional thermal stability that makes imide chemistry crucial in high-performance adhesives for the most demanding aerospace and electronics applications.

BMI -3000 (50% Toluene)

by Designer Molecules

BMI -3000 (50% Toluene) by Designer Molecules is an amorphous, low molecular weight, imide-extended bismaleimide oligomer. It is used as a toughener. It exhibits excellent low pH hydrolytic resistance, excellent flexibility and thermal stability. It is soluble in most aromatic and aliphatic solvents such as toluene and NMP and forms very tough, hydrophobic polyimides on curing. When used as a base resin, BMI -3000 (50% Toluene) can produce films that are tough, flexible and demonstrate good peel strength. It's recommended for use in film adhesives, pre-applied adhesives and for adhesion to metals.

BMI -3000 GEL

by Designer Molecules

BMI -3000 GEL by Designer Molecules is an amorphous, low molecular weight, imide-extended bismaleimide oligomer. It exhibits excellent flexibility, excellent hydrolytic stability, excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates and thermal stability. It is hydrophobic in nature and is used as a toughener. It is soluble in most aromatic and aliphatic solvents such as toluene, NMP, etc. BMI -3000 GEL is compatible with and can be incorporated directly into many resin systems for enhanced performance. When used as a base resin, it can produce films that are tough, flexible and demonstrate good peel strength. It is recommended for use in film adhesives, pre-applied adhesives and for adhesion to metals.

BMI -5000

by Designer Molecules

BMI -5000 by Designer Molecules is an imide-extended bismaleimide oligomer. It exhibits excellent toughness in the cured state with an intermediate cross-link density. It is non-tacky, and can be cured thermally, via UV irradiation, or in the presence of free-radical initiators to form a tough thermoset. BMI -5000 is soluble in aromatic and aliphatic solvents such as toluene, nmp, etc. and can be processed in a resin system as a solid or dissolved in a solvent. When used as a base resin, it can produce films that are tough, flexible and demonstrate good peel strength. Recommended for use in film adhesives and thermally resistant adhesives.
