Sustainable Grade
ULTEM 9085 resin is a polyetherimide blend. The material is designed for use in Aerospace cabin interiors but can also be used for FDM printing and in e.g. Rail applications. The material meets Aerospace FAR25.853 and OSU55/55 heat release requirements. It is approved by main Aerospace OEMs. Material has Rail EN45545 R6-HL3 rating. The material may offer excellent flow, stiffness and ductility balance, enabling thin wall lightweight designs. Material is opaque and can be custom colored.
ISCC+ certified renewable bio-based solutions are available for this grade via differentiated color nomenclature.
All colors are customizable. Refer our ColorXpress tool to check color availability
