I.S.T Corporation unveiled its advanced polyimide fiber IMIDETEX®, designed to redefine composite applications, at JEC World 2025, the world’s largest international composites show held in Paris, France (March 4–6, 2025).

IMIDETEX® Composite Earns High Recognition for Vibration Damping

I.S.T Corporation announced that, among the many notable properties of the IMIDETEX® composite, I.S. T’s booth at JEC World 2025 focused on its vibration damping performance—drawing significant attention from industry professionals. I.S.T‘s material offers exceptional vibration attenuation, enhancing structural stability, and is being recognized as truly innovative. Interest came particularly from two groups of attendees:

First, from engineers and developers currently tackling vibration-related challenges in their products or research. Vibrations in sporting goods can pose significant physical and auditory risks to the human body. IMIDETEX® is seen as a promising solution in such applications.

Additionally, sample requests were received from developers in civil architecture, motorsports, aerospace, and even urban air mobility (flying cars)—fields where vibration and sonic noise issues are critical concerns.

Second, from engineers excited by the discovery of a new material. Professionals from high-performance vehicles and sporting goods listened intently at the booth and asked detailed technical questions. Many remarked, “We never imagined such a material existed,” and enthusiastically added, “I’ll think about how to integrate IMIDETEX® into my project and follow up.”

Future Deployment of IMIDETEX® Composite: Driving Innovation in Composites

IMIDETEX® enhances conventional carbon and glass fiber composites by retaining their benefits while significantly improving vibration damping, impact resistance, and reducing overall weight. Following the strong interest in vibration-focused solutions at JEC, I.S.T plans to expand IMIDETEX® into various industries, including aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, telecommunications, and high-performance sports equipment.
