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.

Product features

• Excellent mechanical strength

• Outstanding heat resistance

• Exceptional resistance to environmental forces

• Inherent flame resistance with low smoke generation

• High mechanical strength

• High dielectric strength and stability

• Low dissipation factor over a wide range of frequencies

• Excellent machinability and finishing characteristics

• Natural grade is FDS, NSF and USP Class VI compliant
