Duratron U1000 PEI is an amber translucent [non-optical quality] amorphous thermoplastic material, offering high strength and heat resistance. It performs continuously to 170 °C, making it ideal for high strength / high heat applications, and also for applications requiring consistent dielectric properties over a wide frequency and temperature range.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
- High maximum allowable service temperature in air [170 °C continuously]
- Very good hydrolysis resistance [suitable for repeated steam sterilisation]
- High strength and stiffness over a wide temperature range
- Inherent low flammability and low levels of smoke evolution during combustion
- Good dimensional stability
- Physiologically inert [food contact compliant composition]
- Very good resistance against high energy radiation [gamma- and X-rays]
- Very good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
APPLICATIONS
- Electrical / electronic insulators [including many semiconductor process components]
- Structural components requiring high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures
