ULTEM™ HU1004 Non Reinforced, Transparent, USP Class VI PEI Resin

Repeated Sterilization, Improved Ductility & Enhanced Hydrostability

ULTEM™ HU1004 PEI Resin is a Non Reinforced Biocompatible Resin for Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical Aapplications.

It's Available in Transparent Amber or Opaque Color. Comes with Improved Ductility & Enhanced Hydrostability Formulation

ULTEM HU1004 Resin may offer Very Good Chemical Resistance for an Amorphous Material and is Inherently Flame Retardant

It is from the ULTEM™ HU Series, An Amorphous Thermoplastic Polyetherimide (PEI) Materials for Biocompatible (ISO 10993 or USP Class VI), Food Contact Compliant, Steam, Gamma, EtO, Hydrogen Peroxide, UV-C or E-beam Resistant for Repeated Sterilization Cycle

ULTEM™ Polyetherimide or PEI Resin offers

- Remarkable Strength and Stiffness offering Outstanding Strength among the Available Alternatives, with Predictable Stiffness and strength up to 200° Celsius. Unfilled, Transparent Grades are Equal in Strength to other Thermoplastics with Opacifying Fillers.

- Long-Term Heat Resistance, thus Achieving Excellent Stability of Mechanical and Physical Properties at Elevated Temperatures due to High Glass Transition Temperature of 217 °C. Available Relative Thermal Indices (RTI) up to 180° Celsius

- High Dimensional Stability offers Predictability over a Wide Temperature Range. Filled Grades offer Exceptionally High Tolerance Dimensional Capabilities.

- Environmental Stress & Cracking Resistance. Unlike Most Other Amorphous Thermoplastics, Ultem Resins Retain Strength and Resist Stress Cracking when Exposed to Automotive and Aircraft Fluids, Aliphatic Hydrocarbons, Alcohols, Acids, and Weak Aqueous Solutions.

- Flammability, Smoke Generation, and Toxicity Inherent Flame Resistance without Additives in Most Grades. Exceptionally Difficult to Ignite, with A Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) Of 47%. Meeting UL94 V0 Specifications in Sections As Thin As 0.41 mm. Generates Extremely Low Smoke per NBS Smoke Evolution Test, with Products of Combustion No More Toxic than Those of Wood.

- Good Processability. Can Be Extruded, Thermoformed, Extrusion, Blow Molded and Injection Molded. Good Flow Ability allows Long Flow Lengths Down to 0.2 mm Thick Using Conventional Injection Molding Equipment.
