GE Plastics Ultem® 2300 PEI, Polyetherimide, 30% glass reinforced, extruded

Material Notes:
Ultem* 2300 is an extruded 30% glass reinforced polyetherimide. It is an amorphous, high-performance polymer with exceptional flame and heat resistance. It performs continuously to 340°F (171°C), making it ideal for high strength/high heat applications, and those requiring consistent dielectric properties over a wide frequency range. It is hydrolysis resistant, highly resistant to acidic solutions and capable of withstanding multiple autoclaving cycles.
