EXTEM™ Resin XH2315

EXTEM XH2315 Resin is a reinforced, 30% glass fiber filled amorphous Polyimide (PI) resin that may offer a extremely high glass transition temperature (Tg of 267°C). Features are excellent mechanical, electrical and dimensional properties up to highest temperatures. The material may offer very good chemical resistance for an amorphous material and is inherently flame-retardant offering UL94 V0 ratings at 0.75 mm and V0,5VA at 1.0 mm and 1.5-1.65 mm. The material is RoHS compliant. The base material is transparent amber colored and available in natural and black color.
