Benefits

  • Made using 10% Toray T-800 Aerospace-grade Carbon Fiber
  • Exceptional thermal properties: Tg = 247°C, HDT 240°C
  • Up to 50% stronger than Ultem™ 1010 at temps above 170°C [170-240°C]
  • Superior chemical resistance [auto & aircraft fluids, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids, chlorinated solvents]
  • Inherently flame retardant without the use of halogenated additives
  • Amorphous polymer with excellent dimensional stability over a wide range of temperatures
  • Lower cost than other ultra-polymers such as PEEK and PEKK
