ULTEM PW2300 resin is a standard flow 30% glass fiber reinforced polyetherimide resin. The material is suitable for potable water applications. It has global food approvals and PW certifications for KTW-BWGL, EN16421, ACS, WRAS, NSF-61 and NSF-REG4. 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 also offers good hydrolytic resistance. The material is opaque and available in natural and black color.
All colors are customizable. Refer our ColorXpress tool to check color availability
