Ultem Polyetherimide

Ultem PolyEtherImide (PEI) is an amber transparent high performance polymer which combines high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures with long term heat resistance. Ultem offers excellent dimensional stability combined with broad chemical resistance.

Ultem is also inherently flame resistant and low smoke generating. It excels in medical reusable applications requiring repeated sterilization and is available in FDA compliant colors.

Two Ultem Grades are available:
Ultem 1000 - This unfilled grade of Ultem excels in hot air and water environments. It's hydrolitically stable -- it retains 85% of tensile strength after 10,000 hour boiling water immersion and 100% of tensile strength after 2,000 steam autoclave cycles at 270°F. It is also UV and gamma radiation resistant.

Ultem 2300 - This 30% glass-filled Ultem provides even greater rigidity and dimensional stability while maintaining many of the useful characteristics of basic Ultem. The glass reinforcement yields a product with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and increased tensile strength.

In addition, 10% and 20% glass-filled grades are also available in limited sheet and rod sizes.
