Duratron PEI
Duratron U1000 PEI is an amorphous, amber-coloured, translucent (non-optical grade) thermoplastic material with high mechanical and thermal resistance that can be used continuously up to 170°C. This makes it ideal for applications requiring high temperature resistance, and also for applications requiring consistent dielectric properties over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures.
Main features
- Maximum permissible operating temperature in high air (170 °C continuous)
- Very good resistance to hydrolysis (suitable for repeated steam sterilisation)
- High strength and rigidity over a wide temperature range
- Low inherent flammability and low levels of smoke development during combustion
- Good dimensional stability
- Physiological inertness (composition suitable for contact with food)
- Very good resistance to high-energy radiation (gamma rays and X-rays)
- Very good dielectric and electrical insulation properties
Applications
Duratron U1000 PEI is extremely suitable for the manufacture of electrical/electronic insulators (including many components in semiconductor device manufacturing lines) and for a variety of structural components requiring high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures. Thanks to its good resistance to hydrolysis, Duratron U1000 PEI is able to withstand repeated steam sterilisation cycles.
