EXTEM™ Resin XH2315

EXTEM XH2315 Resin is a reinforced, 30% glass fiber filled amorphous thermoplastic polyimide 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.
