ULTEM™ AUT230 Non Reinforced High Flow PEI Resin. Automotive Lighting

Developed for Metalizing and High Reflective Surface Requirement

ULTEM™ AUT230 PEI Resin is a Non Reinforced Automotive Grade Resin for Vehicle Lighting Applications

It's Available in Transparent Amber

ULTEM AUT230 Resin is High Flow Formulated and Haze Onset Temperature Of 230°C

It is from the ULTEM™ AUT Series, An Amorphous Thermoplastic Polyetherimide (PEI) Materials Developed with Good Flow, Low Outgassing and Plateout. Best for Automotive Lighting Applications where Highly Metallized, Reflective Surfaces are Required

ULTEM™ Polyetherimide or PEI Resin offers

- Remarkable Strength and Stiffness offering Outstanding Strength among the Available Alternatives, with Predictable Stiffness and strength up to 200° Celsius. Unfilled, Transparent Grades are Equal in Strength to other Thermoplastics with Opacifying Fillers.

- Long-Term Heat Resistance, thus Achieving Excellent Stability of Mechanical and Physical Properties at Elevated Temperatures due to High Glass Transition Temperature of 217 °C. Available Relative Thermal Indices (RTI) up to 180° Celsius

- High Dimensional Stability offers Predictability over a Wide Temperature Range. Filled Grades offer Exceptionally High Tolerance Dimensional Capabilities.

- Environmental Stress & Cracking Resistance. Unlike Most Other Amorphous Thermoplastics, Ultem Resins Retain Strength and Resist Stress Cracking when Exposed to Automotive and Aircraft Fluids, Aliphatic Hydrocarbons, Alcohols, Acids, and Weak Aqueous Solutions.

- Flammability, Smoke Generation, and Toxicity Inherent Flame Resistance without Additives in Most Grades. Exceptionally Difficult to Ignite, with A Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) Of 47%. Meeting UL94 V0 Specifications in Sections As Thin As 0.41 mm. Generates Extremely Low Smoke per NBS Smoke Evolution Test, with Products of Combustion No More Toxic than Those of Wood.

- Good Processability. Can Be Extruded, Thermoformed, Extrusion, Blow Molded and Injection Molded. Good Flow Ability allows Long Flow Lengths Down to 0.2 mm Thick Using Conventional Injection Molding Equipment.
