Typical Applications for ULTEM 2200F

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 2200F 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 370-410°C. Avoid excessive residence times to prevent thermal degradation.

• Mold Temperature: Higher mold temperatures (140-180°C) improve flow and reduce residual stress.

• Food Contact Compliance: This material is FDA and EU food contact compliant in most jurisdictions. Exceptions may exist – request a declaration for details.

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

FAQ

Q1: What is ULTEM 2200F and what is it used for?
A: ULTEM 2200F is a 20% glass fiber reinforced polyetherimide (PEI) resin manufactured by SABIC. It is FDA and EU food contact compliant and combines high heat resistance (Tg 217°C), inherent flame retardancy (UL94 V-0 & 5VA), and high stiffness. It is widely used in food packaging, aerospace interiors, automotive under-hood applications, electrical/electronic components, and consumer goods.

Q2: Is ULTEM 2200F FDA compliant?
A: Yes. ULTEM 2200F is US FDA Food Contact compliant in recognized colors and approved for food contact applications in most jurisdictions. Exceptions may exist – request a declaration for details.

Q3: What is the glass fiber content of ULTEM 2200F?
A: ULTEM 2200F contains 20% glass fiber reinforcement.

Q4: What is the glass transition temperature of ULTEM 2200F?
A: The glass transition temperature (Tg) is 217°C.

Q5: What is the density of ULTEM 2200F?
A: The density is 1.42 g/cm³.

Q6: Is ULTEM 2200F flame retardant?
A: Yes. ULTEM 2200F is inherently flame retardant with UL94 V-0 (0.41mm) and 5VA ratings.

Q7: What is the tensile modulus of ULTEM 2200F?
A: The tensile modulus is 6,500-6,900 MPa.

Q8: What is the difference between ULTEM 2200 and ULTEM 2200F?
A: The key difference is that ULTEM 2200F is FDA and EU food contact compliant, while the standard ULTEM 2200 grade does not carry this certification. Both grades contain 20% glass fiber reinforcement and share similar mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties.
