Tunable permittivity and dielectric strength
Superior thermal endurance
High breakdown voltage and field uniformity
Customizable stress/strain profiles
Thin, flexible films that outperform thicker alternatives

Reliable in These Environments:

High-ripple current environments
Frequent duty cycling (start/stop applications)
Explosive or flammable atmospheres (motor starts, industrial power)
Low-shrinkage and high mechanical integrity

Backed by Science and Patents

Our NanoPlex patented process is the result of years of scientific development, now commercially deployed in some of the world’s most demanding environments: power grids, AI data centers, EV applications, and fusion energy.

U.S.-Engineered. U.S.-Manufactured. Allied-Sourced.

Every roll of NanoPlex is developed and produced in the United States using trusted allied supply chains. This provides greater supply assurance, quality control, and national security compatibility, critical for defense.

Peak NanoPlex™ Frequently Asked Questions

How does NanoPlex™ compare to BOPP, PEN, and PET films in high-temperature applications?

NanoPlex retains full-rated performance up to 135–145°C, far beyond BOPP's 85°C limit and even PET’s 125°C range. This eliminates the need for derating and enables smaller, more efficient capacitor banks.

What makes NanoPlex™ a nanolayered metamaterial?

NanoPlex is built using patented rheological flow control, allowing the precise stacking of up to 4,096 polymer layers. This nanostructure creates custom dielectric properties not achievable with traditional monolayered or biaxially oriented films.

Is NanoPlex™ available for drop-in use in current capacitor winding lines?

Yes. NanoPlex LDF is engineered for compatibility with standard capacitor manufacturing, including slitting, winding, and metallization, making it a drop-in upgrade to traditional BOPP or PEN film.

What are the dielectric properties of NanoPlex™ films?

NanoPlex films feature:

Dielectric constant (HDC variants) of ~5.0+
Dissipation factor as low as 0.0003
Breakdown strength >800 V/µm
Stable capacitance even under high ripple current and temperature

Which capacitor types benefit most from NanoPlex™ LDF?

NanoPlex LDF is ideal for:

DC link capacitors
HVDC capacitors
Power factor correction capacitors
Pulse power capacitors
Fusion capacitors (magnetic confinement fusion)

Which capacitor types benefit most from NanoPlex™ HDC?

NanoPlex HDC is ideal for:

Pulse power capacitors
Fusion capacitors (inertial confinement)
Motor start capacitors
Defense grade direct energy capacitors
Mobile grid capacitors

How does NanoPlex™ improve service life vs. BOPP or PEN?

Low film-level dissipation leads to decreased self-heating, and the nanolayer structure promotes higher thermal tolerance and mechanical integrity under high voltage stress. This enables a longer service life, especially in high-frequency, high-ripple-current, and temperature-cycling environments.

What are the size and weight implications of switching to NanoPlex™?

Because of NanoPlex's higher energy density, engineers can achieve:

Fewer capacitors per rack
Smaller and lighter assemblies
Reduced enclosure sizes and BOM complexity

Is NanoPlex™ film made in the U.S.?

Yes. NanoPlex is fully engineered and manufactured in the United States using allied-sourced polymers. This ensures secure supply chains, compliance with defense/energy programs, and rapid prototyping support.

What testing standards or certifications does NanoPlex™ meet?

NanoPlex is undergoing qualification under:

IEC 61071, UL 810, and MIL-STD 202
Internal validation under high-ripple current, HV, and thermal cycling

Custom test results are available for capacitor OEMs upon request.

Can I request film samples for prototyping?

Yes, Peak offers LDF and HDC variants for sample requests in capacitor development. Fill out our form or contact our engineering team to explore which grades are best suited for your design specs at sales@peaknano.com.
