ULTEM™ Resin 9085
SABIC's Specialties Business ULTEM™ Resin 9085 is a polyetherimide blend that is specifically formulated for use in aerospace cabin interiors, as well as in rail applications and for FDM printing. It complies with aerospace FAR25.853 and OSU55/55 heat release requirements and has been approved by major aerospace OEMs. With a rail EN45545 R6-HL3 rating, this material offers excellent flow, stiffness, and ductility balance, allowing for thin-walled, lightweight designs. ULTEM™ Resin 9085 is opaque and can be custom colored to meet specific design requirements. 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.
