Ultem® 2300 is an extruded 30% glass reinforced polyetherimide. It is an amorphous, high performance polymer with exceptional flame and heat resistance. It performs continuously to 340 degrees F (171 degrees C), making it ideal for high strength/high heat applications, and those requiring consistent dielectric properties over a wide frequency range. It is hydrolysis resistant, highly resistant to acidic solutions and capable of withstanding multiple autoclaving cycles. Ultem® 2300 provides greater rigidity and improved dimensional stability while maintaining many of the useful characteristics of Ultem®. Ultem® 2300 commonly is machined into parts for reusable medical devices, analytical instrumentation, electrical/electronic insulators and a variety of structural components requiring high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures.
