Polyetherimide (Ultem^®)

Ultem^® is an amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide (PEI) material which combines exceptional mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. Natural Ultem 1000 (unreinforced) is a translucent amber material. The addition of glass fiber reinforcement to the basic Ultem, coupled with Ensinger's proprietary extrusion techniques, provides the product with both greater tensile strength and rigidity while at the same time improving dimensional stability.
