Ultem PEI 1000

Ultem PEI 1000 is an amber translucent (non-optical quality) amorphous
thermoplastics 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.

Ultem PEI 1000 is extremely suitable for electrical / electronic insulators
(including many semiconductor process components) and a variety of
structural components requiring high strength and rigidity at elevated
temperatures. Thanks to its good hydrolysis resistance, Ultem PEI 1000 is
capable of withstanding repeated autoclaving cycles.

Common Uses for Ultem PEI 1000

Ultem PEI 1000 Insulators

Costly, brittle ceramics were constantly being broken during installation of
these microwave communication insulators. Durable Ultem PEI 1000 was easily
machined into the parts required. Ultem PEI 1000 has drastically greater
impact resistance than the original ceramic and shows excellent dielectric
properties.

Ultem PEI 1000 Probe Holder

In ultrasonic scanning equipment, a plastic support is used to hold the
piezo crystals and to guide the ultrasonic sound into the tested material.
For the scanning of warm surfaces, standard plastics grades become too soft
and sticky. High temperature resistant Ultem PEI 1000 withstands these
temperatures and is transparent to ultrasonic waves. Ultem PEI 1000 shows
uniform properties in all directions, permits a higher output thanks to very
low internal reflection rates and has a low damping factor.
