PEI-Ultem

Ultem® offers high heat resistance coupled with high strength, stiffness, UV stability and broad chemical resistance. The combination of outstanding thermal, mechanical and electrical properties together with exceptional flame resistance and thermoformability, provide unprecedented performance for a wide variety of demanding new design concepts.

The following physical property information is based on typical values of the base Ultem® 1000 resin as well as test results obtained from actual film testing.

Applications for Ultem®
(polyetherimide) Film:

• Flex circuits

• High temperature labels

• Electrical insulation

• IC Sockets

• Automotive sensors

• Hot melt adhesives

Advantages of Ultem® (polyetherimide) Film:

• Hi heat deflection & continuous use temp

• Inherent flame resistance

• Extremely low NBS smoke evolution & superior LOI

• Exceptional tensile & flexural strength

• Hi dielectric strength

• Exceptional mechanical properties

• Dimensionally stable @ varying temps

• Inherent UV stability

• Resin FDA compliant

Ultem® with Adhesive: CS Hyde can laminate Acrylic Pressure Sensitive Adhesive to Ultem®; Adhesive laminations available from .003" thick to .060" thick; .5" wide to 48" wide. Ultem® Die-Cutting, Sheeting and Printing: CS Hyde can die cut custom shapes, sheet custom lengths and print Ultem® with barcoding, logos, etc.

Thermoforming: DRYING--Ultem® Film must be thoroughly dried at 300°F before processing. Failure to do so will result in bubbling of film. FORMING--Forming temps range from 475F to 525F. Ultem® film rapidly cools so heating and thermoforming units should be combined into one machine. Fast forming cycles recommended.

Printing: Parts fabricated from Ultem® Film can easily be decorated by silkscreen & pad-transfer printing. Flexography & offset printing may also be used but are limited to simple shapes. Select inks based on printing technique. Air-dry, plural-component & ultraviolet-radiation curing inks are available

Outgassing: Ultem® meets stringent outgassing requirements. Clean room compatible.
