PEI

Polyetherimide

Standards: ISO 10350, ASTM D5205

FDA EU 10/2011 RoHS REACH

Overview

PEI (Polyetherimide), known as Ultem®, combines excellent mechanical properties with inherent flame retardancy (V-0) and continuous service to 170°C. Transparent amber colour. Used in aerospace, medical and semiconductor applications. More cost-effective than PEEK for applications below 170°C.

⚠️ Technical data are typical values. Always verify with the manufacturer for critical applications.
