ULTEM™ Resin 1010GCR3

Sustainable Grade

1010GCR3 grade is 30% PCR (Post Consumer Recycle) combined with bio-based polyetherimide solutions. This material may offer a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 217°C and improved flow. Features are excellent mechanical, electrical and dimensional properties up to high temperatures. The material may offer very good chemical resistance for an amorphous material. For colored variants compliance needs to be checked case by case. ISCC+ certified renewable bio-based solutions are available for this grade.
