Ultem, Industrial Plastics

ULTEM: Ultem 1000 is an amorphous polymer offering high strength and excellent flame and heat resistance. It performs continuously to 340 F ( 170 C ), making it ideal for high strength/ high heat applications.Ultem 1000 has one of the lowest thermal conductivity ratings and highest dielectric properties of thermoplastic materials.

It is hydrolysis resistant, highly resistant to acidic solutions and capable of withstanding repeated autoclaving cycles. Ultem 2300 is a 30% glass reinforced version of Ultem 1000, which provides even greater rigidity and improved dimensional stability.

Ultem is commonly used for reusable medical devices, analytical instrumentation, electrical insulators, semiconductor process components, underwater connector bodies, and a variety of structural components requiring high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures.

Please see the Amorphous Materials Page for technical specifications on all grades of readily available Ultem, or request your own personal copy of AIP's Material Specifications Brochure.
