Typical Applications for ULTEM 2100F

Typical Properties

Important Notes on Typical Data:

• Values listed are typical and sourced from SABIC official data sheets. They do not constitute binding product specification.

• Batch-to-batch deviations may exist. For critical applications, validate performance with batch-specific COA certificate.

• Final performance depends on processing conditions, mold design, and part geometry.

• SABIC official TDS shall serve as definitive technical reference. Request the latest official TDS from our sales team.

Processing Guidelines

Critical Processing Warnings:

• Drying: ULTEM 2100F is hygroscopic and must be dried to <0.02% moisture before processing. Dry at 150°C for 4-6 hours. 

• Melt Temperature: Recommended melt temperature range is 350-400°C. Avoid excessive residence times to prevent thermal degradation. 

• Mold Temperature: Higher mold temperatures (135-165°C) improve flow and reduce residual stress. 

• Gate Design: Use large gates and runners to minimize flow resistance and reduce molded-in stress.

• Regrind: Regrind can be used up to 20-25% with virgin material, provided it is clean and properly dried.

• Food Contact Compliance: This material is food contact compliant in most jurisdictions – exceptions may exist, request a declaration for details. 

• Not for Medical Applications: Effective June 2007, this grade is no longer supported with biocompatibility information and should not be used for medical applications which require biocompatibility. For medical applications, please use alternative grade HU2100 (ISO 10993/USP Class VI biocompatible).
