ULTEM™ MD131 Non Reinforced Transparent Food Compliant PEI Resin

ULTEM™ MD130 PEI Resin is positioned as a Transparent, Non-Reinforced Polyetherimide Material developed for Food Contact and General Engineering Applications where Compliance, Clarity, and dependable Performance must come together. It provides a practical balance between Mechanical Strength and Processing Stability, making it suitable for industries where Hygiene and Reliability are essential.

One of the defining aspects of ULTEM™ MD130 PEI Resin is its Food Contact Compliance, meeting both U.S. FDA and EU Regulatory Requirements. This allows the Material to be used confidently in environments involving Food Handling, Processing, and Packaging, where Material Safety and Certification remain Critical Requirements.

From a processing standpoint, the Material exhibits Standard Flow Behavior, enabling consistent Mold Filling and predictable Production Output. This allows Manufacturers to maintain uniform Part Quality while minimizing variability, which is especially important in high-volume and regulated manufacturing environments.

The Transparent Nature of ULTEM™ MD130 PEI Resin introduces additional design flexibility, supporting Applications where Visibility or Inspection is required. This makes it suitable for Components such as Containers, Covers, and Functional Parts where both Performance and Visual Access are beneficial.

In service conditions, the Material maintains Thermal Stability and retains Mechanical Properties under repeated use. Its Resistance to Heat allows Components to function effectively in elevated temperature environments, ensuring durability across extended operating cycles.

Chemical Resistance also contributes to its reliability, as ULTEM™ MD130 PEI Resin performs well when exposed to Cleaning Agents and Processing Fluids. This ensures that Components maintain Structural Integrity even in environments involving frequent sanitation or chemical exposure.

While the Material retains inherent Flame Resistant behavior typical of PEI, it is not UL Rated, as its formulation prioritizes Food Contact Compliance and balanced Performance rather than specific Flame Classification standards.

Typical Applications include Food Handling Trays, Containers, Equipment Components, and Industrial Parts where Clarity, Durability, and Regulatory Compliance must be delivered together.

ULTEM™ MD130 PEI Resin provides a dependable solution for Designers seeking a Transparent, Food-Safe Material with consistent Processing Characteristics and Mechanical Reliability. The Material is also RoHS Compliant, supporting Environmentally Responsible Material Selection while delivering stable Performance across a wide range of Commercial and Industrial Applications.
