ULTEM™ resin HU1010

ULTEM™ resin HU1010 by SABIC is an unreinforced, amorphous, high stiffness polyetherimide (PEI) resin that may offer a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 217°C and improved flow. It offers steam-, peroxide-, gamma-, EtO-, UV-C- and E-beam resistance for repeated sterilization cycles. It features excellent mechanical, electrical and dimensional properties up to high temperatures. It provides very good chemical resistance for an amorphous material. It provides hydrolytic stability, low smoke and toxicity. It exhibits low creep sensitivity, low shrinkage, good metal adhesion, high strength and high heat resistance. It is transparent amber colored but is also available in custom colors - transparent and opaque. It is suitable for additive manufacturing, injection compression molding, compression molding, foam extrusion, extrusion blow molding, film extrusion, injection molding, profile extrusion, extrusion and extrusion compounding. ULTEM™ resin HU1010 is designed for pharmaceutical, surgical, ophthalmics, personal accessory, respiratory, sleep therapy, personal recreation, healthcare, patient testing, fluid and blood handling, medical facility and infrastructure. It is an inherent flame retardant offering UL94 V0 and 5V ratings. It is biocompatible (ISO 10993 or USP Class VI) and healthcare management of change applies. The grade is RoHS- and food compliant (FDA, CN, EC).
