Ultem® (Polyetherimide)

 

Ultem® is an amorphous material with very good strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures.  It has very good resistance to acids and steam, and exhibits good impact resistance.  Ultem® has very high Dielectric Strength, and very good Thermal Stability.

Ultem® shapes can be produced by utilizing Extrusion, Injection Molding, and Compression Molding methods.  Ultem® can also be filled with various materials to enhance strength, stability, and dielectric properties.

 

 

What are the Benefits of Ultem®?:
  • High Strength
  • Toughness
  • Very High Dielectric Strength
  • Good performance in Steam
  • Creep Resistance
  • FDA, USDA, NSF, and USP Class VI Compliant
