ULTEM™ Resin 1000P
SABIC's Specialties Business ULTEM™ Resin 1000P is an amorphous polyetherimide (PEI) powder resin with an average particle size (D50) of 350 microns. It offers a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 217°C and excellent mechanical, electrical, and dimensional properties even at high temperatures. This material is also highly resistant to chemicals for an amorphous material and is inherently flame-retardant. The base material is transparent amber in color and is RoHS-compliant. This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during SHPP’s manufacturing process and are not expected to contain unintentional PFAS impurities. Each user is responsible for evaluating the presence of unintentional PFAS impurities.
