ULTEM CRS5011 resin is an unfilled, high temperature stable (Tg 225 °C), transparent, enhanced flow polyetherimide copolymer with enhanced chemical resistance to strong acids, bases, aromatics, and ketones. ULTEM CRS5011 resin also offers good chemical resistance to conventional Li-ion electrolytes and carries non-chlorinated/brominated UL94 VO listing at 1.6 mm. ULTEM CRS5011 resin is an excellent candidate for EV battery pack applications where high heat, flame retardant electrical insulation is required, including cell terminal caps/covers and inter layers.
