ULTEM PEI: Flame Retardant Solutions for High-Stakes Applications
We offer a wide range of PEI materials, including our most popular options, PEI 9085 and PEI 1010, both of which are known for their exceptional mechanical and thermal properties. Both materials excel in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and electronics due to their high-performance characteristics.
- Thermal Resistance: PEI 1010 outperforms PEI 9085, makin PEI 1010 better suited in high-temperature applications.
- Flame Retardancy and FST: PEI 9085 stands out for its low smoke evolution and exceptional FST (Flame, Smoke, Toxicity) properties.
- Strength-to-Weight Ratio: PEI 9085 offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, ideal for lightweight parts needing high strength such as in aerospace and automotive industries.
Thermal Resistance
Excellent heat resistance:
PEI 1010: up to 217°C
PEI 9085: up to 167°C
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Lightweight yet strong performance, comparable to aluminum
Flame Retardancy
UL 94 V-0 rated for flame resistance, ideal for applications that require low flame, smoke, and toxicity (FST).
Chemical Resistance
Resistant to a variety of chemicals, including alcohols and automotive fluids.
Application Scenarios
Industrial Equipment
Can be used for parts that must endure high temperatures, exposure to chemicals, or harsh mechanical conditions.
Aerospace
Commonly used in the aerospace industry for parts like ducting, electrical enclosures, and interior components due to their low FST properties and high strength-to-weight ratios.
Electrical/Electronics
excellent electrical insulation properties, making them suitable for housings, connectors, and casings for sensitive electronic components.
