PEI (Polyetherimide) is a transparent amber, amorphous thermoplastic with a high mechanical strength combined with a good chemical and heat resistance (operating temperature up to +170 °C), good dimensional stability and creep resistance. lts unique torque strength enables the cost-effective replacement of small machined or manufactured steel parts. Properties of PEI include:
Very high strength and rigidity
High creep resistance
High torque strength and hardness
High thermostability
Self-extinguishing
Very good weather resistance
High resistance to γ-rays
Typical fields of application for PEI include electrical and electronic industries, medical technology and aerospace engineering. If you have a requirement for machined or finished PEI components please ask the Plastock team for more information.
