POLYETHERIMIDE: A VERSATILE, PROCESSABLE THERMOPLASTIC.

Abstract

Polyetherimide is an amorphous thermoplastic characterized by a high heat deflection temperature, excellent mechanical strength, good chemical resistance, and stable electrical properties over a wide range of temperature and frequency. The flame resistance and UV stability of PEI are excellent without the addition of flame retardants or stabilizers. Polyetherimide exhibits this exceptional property balance without sacrificing processability, providing a material capable of meeting the difficult design requirements of many applications in the electrical/electronic, transportation and industrial sectors.
