ULTEM® 1000 PEI/Polyetherimide is a high performance amorphous thermoplastic material. Stock shapes made from ULTEM® PEI resins possess a combination of useful characteristics, including high strength at elevated temperatures, high modulus and broad chemical resistance. ULTEM® PEI stock shapes are inherently flame resistant with low smoke emission. ULTEM® PEI stock shapes display property retention and resistance to environmental stress cracking when exposed to a wide variety of chemicals. Themore
