PEI (Polyetherimide)
PEI polymer is extruded into ready to machine sheet and rod shapes. Unfilled PEI thermoplastic is translucent and amber in color while glass filled shapes are tan or greenish. PEI's have exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Ultem® (now Duratron® U1000 PEI) is an amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide. Stock shapes from Ultem resin possess a combination of useful characteristics, including high strength at elevated temperatures (340°F continuous), high modulus, and broad chemical resistance. Ultem stock shapes are inherently flame resistant with low smoke emission. Ultem stock shapes display property retention and resistance to environmental stress cracking when exposed to a wide variety of chemicals.
The standard color of Ultem (unfilled) stock shapes is light amber. Glass filled grades appear tan or greenish in color. Custom colors available, minimums may apply.
PEI Trade Names
Originally called Ultem® 1000 MCAM has renamed the product Duratron® U1000 PEI. Other trade names include TECAPEI, SUSTAPEI
