ULTEM NP2300 is a high-performance, glass fiber reinforced grade that delivers exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. The 30% glass fiber reinforcement provides significantly increased stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability compared to unreinforced grades. The material is intrinsically flame retardant without the use of halogenated FR modifiers, offering UL94 V-0 and 5VA ratings and meeting FAR25.853 performance requirements.

This non-chlorinated, non-brominated flame-retardant grade is RoHS compliant and certified per UL746G for non-fluorine and non-PFAS containing materials. With a high glass transition temperature of 217°C, NP2300 offers excellent dimensional stability, strength, stiffness, and creep resistance up to elevated temperatures. ISCC+ certified renewable bio-based solutions are available for this grade via differentiated color nomenclature.

Typical Applications for ULTEM NP2300

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 (Injection Molding)

Critical Processing Warnings:

• Drying: ULTEM NP2300 is hygroscopic and must be dried to <0.02% moisture before processing. Dry at 150°C for 4-6 hours.

• Standard Flow: This grade offers standard flow characteristics for consistent injection molding processing.

• Melt Temperature: Avoid excessive residence times to prevent thermal degradation.

• Mold Temperature: Higher mold temperatures improve flow and reduce residual stress.

• Processing Methods: Suitable for injection molding, extrusion, compression molding, and thermoforming. Capable of long flow lengths down to 0.2 mm using conventional injection molding equipment.

• 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.

• PFAS-Free: This product is certified per UL746G for non-fluorine and non-PFAS containing materials.
