ULTEM™ resin 1010

ULTEM™ resin 1010 by SABIC is a general purpose, amorphous, metallizable, flame-retardant polyetherimide (PEI) grade. It offers high flow, durability, excellent mechanical properties and dimensional stability. It provides easy processability, low toxicity and smoke evolution. Exhibits hydrolytic stability, low creep sensitivity, low shrinkage, high electric breakdown strength (BDS), UV-C and radiation resistance (gamma, x-ray). It provides high heat resistance, chemical resistance and stability of physical & mechanical properties at elevated temperatures with high strength, modulus and stiffness up to 200°C. It retains strength and resists stress cracking when exposed to automotive, aircraft and hydrolytic fluids, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids and weak aqueous solutions. Shows good metal adhesion and is transparent to microwave radiation & near IR. ULTEM™ resin 1010 is suitable for processing by injection molding, additive manufacturing, extrusion blow molding, film-, foam & profile extrusion, compression molding, extrusion compounding, hot rolling and injection compression molding. Recommended for rigid packaging, aircraft interiors, defense, outdoor lawn & landscape, semiconductors, fossil, electric vehicle, heavy truck, automotive interiors, electrical devices & displays and specialty vehicles. It is also used in ophthalmics, rail, wind energy, sport/leisure, consumer packaging, personal accessory, textile, lighting, energy storage, home appliances, servomotor, bus, and electronic material handling. Suitable for electrical components & infrastructure, personal recreation, industrial material handling, composite, automotive under the hood, commercial appliance and recreational vehicle. It complies with RoHS, aerospace FAR 25.853, UL 94 V-0 and 94 5VA flame rating.
ISCC+ certified bio-based version also available for this grade.
