TEMPALUX® Polyetherimide (Ultem®)

Tempalux® is an amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide. Stock shapes made from Ultem® resin possess a combination of useful characteristics, including high strength at elevated temperatures, a 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. Tempalux® rod, slab, and tubular bar are air annealed for stress relief. Tempalux® is UV stable and FDA compliant. It is used for surgical instruments, provisional trials and various medical devices.
