- This remarkable material - Kapton foil - played an essential role in the success of the Apollo missions. This film was essential to protect both the astronauts and their spaceship from the harsh realities of space. Kapton is a polyimide film developed by DuPont in the 1960s. It is created by the polymerization of an aromatic dianhydride and an aromatic diamine. What makes Kapton so special is its exceptional thermal stability. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -269°C (-452°F) to 400°C (752°F) without losing its properties.
