描述
ULTEM Resin PW2100 is a 10% glass fiber reinforced, standard flow polyetherimide (PEI) resin manufactured by SABIC. As an authorized distributor and trader, we supply genuine SABIC materials with full traceability.
This inherently flame retardant resin is KTW, WRAS, ACS, NSF-61 and W270 certified for potable water applications and is US FDA and European Food Contact approved. The 10% glass fiber reinforcement provides enhanced stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability compared to unreinforced grades.
With a glass transition temperature of 217°C, PW2100 delivers excellent dimensional stability, high strength and stiffness, and good chemical resistance across a broad temperature range. The material is opaque and available in custom colors. ISCC+ certified renewable bio-based solutions are also available for this grade.
