Sustainable Grade
EXTEM™ RH1017UCL-1000 is a transparent, amorphous thermoplastic polyimide resin with high glass transition tempeture (Tg = 280 °C). This resin is near-IR transparent and injection moldable to produce complex optical lens assemblies while maintaining dimensional stability during 260 °C peak temperature through JEDEC-compliant solder reflow assembly process. Additional features are excellent mechanical, electrical and dimensional properties at high temperatures, including high refractive index similar to standard Ultem™. The material is RoHS compliant and the natural, uncolored, material is halogen free according to standards IEC 61249-2-21, IPC 4101E and JEDEC JS709B. ISCC+ certified renewable bio-based solutions are available for this grade via differentiated color nomenclature.
All colors are customizable. Refer our ColorXpress tool to check color availability
