ULTEM™ Resin 2320

ULTEM 2320 resin is a high flow 30% glass fiber reinforced polyetherimide resin. The material is RoHS compliant and is intrinsically flame retardant without the use of FR modifiers and offers UL94 V0 at ≥ 0.5 mm. The material may offer excellent dimension stability, strength, stiffness and creep resistance up to high temperature due to its high glass transition temperature of 217 °C. The material is opaque and can be custom colored.

ISCC+ certified renewable bio-based solutions are available for this grade via differentiated color nomenclature.
