PEI-1000 ULTEM

Ultem l000 polyetherimide (PEI) is an amorphous polymer offering high strength and excellent flame and heat resistance. It performs continuously to 340°F (170°C), making it ideal for high strength/high heat applications, and those requiring consistent dielectric properties over a wide frequency range. It is hydrolysis resistant, highly resistant to acidic solutions and capable of withstanding repeated autoclaving cycles.

• High strength and performs in continuous use to 340°F (170°C)
• High dielectric strength UL 94-V-0 rated with low smoke KPSI
• Available in glass-reinforced grades

Ultem 2100, 2200 and 2300 are glass-reinforced versions (10, 20, and 30%, respectively) of Ultem 1000 which provide even greater rigidity and improved dimensional stability while maintaining many of the useful characteristics of basic Ultem. Ultem 1000 is FDA and USP Class VI compliant. FDA compliant colors of Ultem are also available on a custom basis. Ultem commonly is machined into parts for reusable medical devices, analytical instrumentation, electrical/electronic insulators (including many semiconductor process components) and a variety of structural components requiring high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures. Quadrant offers Ultem 1000 and Ultem 2300 as standard products.
