TECAPEI™ black (Sabic Ultem® 1000 series)
TECAPEI black Ultem is a polyetherimide material with high mechanical strength and rigidity, that is also known for its good electrical properties. This material has a remarkably high creep resistance over a wide range of temperatures and furthermore, polyetherimides have a high permanent operating temperature. Very good resistance to hydrolysis, along with dimensional stability rounds out the portfolio of typical polyetherimide properties.
