EXTEM™ Resin XH1015UCL

EXTEM XH1015UCL resin is an unreinforced amorphous thermoplastic polyimide (TPI) resin that may offer a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 267°C. Features are excellent mechanical, electrical and dimensional properties up to high temperatures. The material has good near-IR transparency and a high refractive index making it an excellent candidate for injection moldable optical lenses and connectors. EXTEM resin XH1015UCL can withstand SMT soldering temperatures up to 245˚C. For a near-IR transparent solution with SMT at JEDEC standard temperature of 260°C please consult our EXTEM™ resin RH1016UCL. The XH1015UCL is RoHS compliant and the natural, uncolored, material is halogen free according to standards IEC 61249-2-21, IPC 4101E and JEDEC JS709B. For colored variants compliance needs to be checked case by case.
