GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Duratron ® PolyEtherImide (PEI) is an amber transparent high performance polymer which combines high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures with long term heat resistance. PEI offers excellent dimensional stability combined with broad chemical resistance.
Duratron® U2200 PEI (20% glass filled)
Glass reinforced Duratron® U2200 provides even greater rigidity and dimensional stability while maintaining many of the useful characteristics of basic PEI®. The glass reinforcement yields a product with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and increased tensile strength.
This glass-reinforced grade is NOT AVAILABLE FROM STOCK, but rather can be offered ONLY BY SPECIAL ORDER ... long leadtimes and large minimum order quantities may apply when ordering these grades in sheet or rod forms.
Other available Duratron PEI grades include unfilled Duratron U1000 PEI, 10% glass-reinforced Duratron U2100 PEI, and 30% glass-reinforced Duratron U2300 PEI. For a side-by-side properties comparison of the Duratron U PEI grades, see this page.
