General Info
TECAPEI™ CM ELS XP680 black is a compression molded, electrically conductive PEI (polyetherimide) designed for demanding applications requiring ESD protection, EMI/RFI shielding, and controlled electrical conductivity. The material provides a surface resistivity of 10^4 ohms/square, a tensile strength of 10,000 psi, flexural strength of 11,800 psi, and a glass transition temperature of 425°F. TECAPEI™ CM ELS XP680 combines high-temperature capability, dimensional stability, mechanical strength, and electrical conductivity in a lightweight engineering thermoplastic that can replace metal in select conductive applications.
Available as a compression-molded sheet, rod, or tube.

Manufacturer Trade Names
Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
