ULTEM™ HU2210 20% Glass Reinforced PEI. USP Class VI, Transparent

Resistance for repeated Sterilization Cycles Product. Improved Flow

ULTEM™ HU2210 is a high-Performance 20% glass reinforced polyetherimide (PEI) resin developed for demanding medical devices and pharmaceutical applications. Engineered with improved Flow characteristics, ULTEM™ HU2210 allows for efficient molding of complex parts while maintaining excellent structural integrity. This medical-grade resin is available in transparent amber or opaque color options, giving manufacturers flexibility in both functional and aesthetic design.

For applications requiring clarity and non-reinforced properties, ULTEM™ HU1110 offers a transparent PEI solution that complies with USP Class VI standards. It is specifically designed to perform in environments where repeated sterilization cycles are required, such as surgical instruments and diagnostic components. Its consistent purity and biocompatibility make it a reliable choice for sensitive medical applications.

ULTEM™ HU2210 provides enhanced mechanical Performance through its 20% glass fiber reinforcement, delivering higher stiffness and improved dimensional stability compared to standard PEI grades. These characteristics enable the production of durable, precision components capable of withstanding mechanical stress and long-term use in critical healthcare environments. The improved Flow of ULTEM™ HU2210 also supports better mold filling and reduced cycle times.

Another important benefit of these materials is their excellent resistance to sterilization methods, including steam autoclave, gamma radiation, and chemical sterilants. This ensures that parts made from these resins maintain integrity and Performance even after repeated exposure to harsh sterilization conditions. Such reliability is essential in maintaining safety and compliance in medical and pharmaceutical industries.

ULTEM™ HU2210 also demonstrates very good chemical resistance for an amorphous polymer, allowing it to withstand exposure to disinfectants, cleaning agents, and pharmaceutical substances. In addition, it is inherently flame retardant and meets UL94 V-0 ratings from 0.41 mm to 3.00 mm, providing an added level of safety in regulated environments. Importantly, ULTEM™ HU2210 is also RoHS compliant, ensuring it meets global environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

From a regulatory and application standpoint, both ULTEM™ HU2210 and ULTEM™ HU1110 are recognized for their suitability in biocompatible applications. Their compliance with medical standards supports their use across a wide range of healthcare products, from housings and connectors to fluid handling components. This makes them trusted materials for manufacturers focused on safety, Performance, and regulatory approval.

ULTEM™ HU2210 remains a leading choice for advanced medical resin applications due to its balance of Flow Performance, strength, chemical resistance, and compliance standards. With its combination of sterilization resistance, flame retardancy, and RoHS compliance, ULTEM™ HU2210 delivers a dependable solution for high-quality medical and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
