ULTEM®

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION
Ultem® is a brand name for polyetherimide ( PEI ). Ultem® 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 inherently flame resistant and generates a low amount of smoke. It excels in medical reusable applications requiring repeated sterilization and is available in FDA compliant colors.

GRADES OF ULTEM

Ultem® 1000 (unfilled)

Ultem® excels in hot air and water environments.

Ultem® is hydrolytically stable; it retains 100% of tensile strength after 2,000 steam autoclave cycles at 270°F.

Ultem® also retains 85% of its tensile strength after 10,000 hour boiling water immersion.

It is also UV and gamma radiation resistant.

Ultem® 2100 (10% glass filled)

Ultem® 2200 (20% glass filled)
Ultem® 2300 (30% glass filled)

Glass filled Ultem® provides even greater rigidity and dimensional stability while maintaining many of the useful characteristics of basic Ultem®. The glass reinforcement in Ultem® yields exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and increased tensile strength.
