Stocked in Ultem 1000 Rods and Sheets – and some 2300
Great for applications that require improved stiffness, glass fiber filled grades with filler levels of 10% – 40% are available. Because it offers superior resistance to autoclave sanitizing and is FDA/USDA and USP class VI compliant, PEI is frequently specified for reusable machined components used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. First introduced by General Electric Plastics (GE Plastic) in 1982, and later sold to Sabic. Other material trade names for Sabic Ultem PEI: Unitem®, Tempalux, Sustatec.

“Thank you for suggesting Ultem material for our application, it works very well. We sterilize our assemblies, and the Ultem material seems to handle it, almost 100 cycles so far and holding up.” – Thomas P.
“The Ultem machines well, has great resistance to our chemicals we work with, and it takes the heat. Great choice for our intricate parts” – Allen G.
