Hi Rod,

Is the KF- film Kapton?  If it is Kapton H it can handle 389-430 KV/mm by
the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 84th ed.  Others listed are:

Ultem      437-565
Hostaphan    338-447
amorphous Stabar K2000  404-422
Stabar S100   353-452
LDPE (40 um thick)   300
LDPE    21.7
HDPE   19.7
Polymethyl methacrylate (plexi ?)  19.7
Polycarbonate  15.0
PVC   13.8-19.7
Polypropylene  23.6
