Is Ultem the same as PEI?
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™ is available in unfilled and filled grades in sheet, rod, tube, film and injection molded and machined parts.
Is Ultem a polyimide?
Description. The ULTEM™ resin family of amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide (PEI) materials offers outstanding elevated thermal resistance, high strength and stiffness, and broad chemical resistance. ULTEM resins are available in transparent and opaque custom colors, as well as glass filled grades.
How brittle is Ultem?
While Ultem® is also resistant to a broad spectrum of chemicals, its brittle nature makes it more prone to environmental stress cracking.
