ULTEM™ Resin 3473

ULTEM 3473 resin is a reinforced blend of polyetherimide (PEI) and polyphenylenesulfide (PPS) that combines the benefits of an amorphous and a semicrystalline material. Features are an excellent combination of reliable metallization, SMT lead free solder capability and providing extreme dimensional stability up to high temperatures. The material is a light weight alternative to Aluminum solutions, RoHS compliant, easy flowing and injection moldable.
