ULTEM™ resin HU1000E

ULTEM™ resin HU1000E by SABIC is an unreinforced, PFAS-free, amorphous, transparent, high stiffness, standard flow polyetherimide (PEI) resin with high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 217°C. It offers hydrolytic stability, low smoke and toxicity. It provides low creep sensitivity, low shrinkage, high strength, high heat resistance and good processability.

• It imparts steam-, hydrogen peroxide-, gamma-, EtO-, UV-C- and E-beam resistance for repeated sterilization cycles.
• It may offer global food compliance (FDA, CN, EC).
• It features excellent mechanical, electrical and dimensional stability properties up to high temperatures.
• It imparts very good chemical resistance for an amorphous material.
• It is inherently flame retardant offering UL94 V0 and 5V ratings.
• It is biocompatible (ISO 10993 or USP Class VI) and healthcare management of change applies.
• It is transparent amber colored but is also available in custom colors-transparent and opaque.
• It is processed by additive manufacturing, injection compression molding, compression molding, foam extrusion, extrusion blow molding, film extrusion, injection molding, profile extrusion, extrusion and extrusion compounding.
• Recommended for pharmaceutical packaging, drug delivery, surgical devices, general healthcare and patient testing.
• ULTEM™ resin HU1000E is RoHS compliant.
