Material Notes:

An amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide, stock shapes from ULTEM® resin possess a combination of useful characteristics, including high heat resistance, high strength at elevated temperatures, high modulus, and broad chemical resistance. Tempalux stock shapes are inherently flame resistant with low smoke emission. Tempalux stock shapes display property retention and resistance to environmental stress cracking when exposed to a wide variety of chemicals. The standard color of Tempalux stock shapes is light amber.Applications Include:Medical instrument traysBurn-in test socketsAircraft / Aerospace interiorsConnectorsAutomotive componentsValves, electrical fittingsFood service (ovenable)Flex CircuitsAdvantages of Tempalux 5000:Inherent flame resistanceExtremely low NBS smoke evolutionSuperior limiting oxygen index Exceptional flexural and tensile strengthBroad chemical resistanceUV stable - inherentlyFDA CompliantInformation provided by Westlake Plastics Company.
