ULTEM™ MD147 Non Reinforced Transparent Food Compliant PEI Resin

Unique US FDA & EU Food Contact. High Flow & balance characteristics

ULTEM™ MD147 is designed for manufacturers who prioritize both Processing Efficiency and material Transparency in Food-Contact applications. This High-Flow Polyetherimide (PEI) Resin delivers reliable Impact Strength while remaining Non-Reinforced, making it Ideal for Clean, Precise, and Visible Component Designs. Its clarity and performance consistency allow it to function effectively in Environments where Hygiene and Inspection are Equally Important.

Within the same material Family, ULTEM™ MD130 offers another perspective on Food-Compliant PEI Solutions, focusing on balanced Flow and Transparency without additional Reinforcement. This Highlights how different grades can be selected depending on performance Priorities, whether the Focus is on Flow Enhancement, Structural Stability, or Regulatory Compliance.

ULTEM™ MD147 is Fully Compliant with both US FDA and EU Food Contact Regulations, ensuring suitability for Direct and Indirect Food-Related use. This makes it a Dependable Option for Processing Equipment, Handling Components, and Packaging Systems where maintaining Strict Safety Standards is Essential. Its Transparent Form also enables Better Monitoring and Quality Control during Operation.

What sets this Grade apart is how effectively it supports Production Efficiency. The High-Flow formulation allows molten material to move easily through Molds, Improving Fill Rates and reducing the Likelihood of Defects. This contributes to Smoother Manufacturing Cycles and greater Consistency between Parts, especially in High-Volume applications.

ULTEM™ MD147 Performs reliably when exposed to Routine Cleaning Processes and Operational Environments. It demonstrates good Resistance to Commonly used Chemicals, helping maintain Integrity over time. Although it Exhibits the Inherent Fire-Resistant Nature of PEI Materials, it is categorized as Non-UL Rated. Additionally, ULTEM™ MD147 is RoHS Compliant, aligning with Global Environmental and Safety Standards.

From a Design Standpoint, the material offers flexibility for Engineers seeking a Transparent, Compliant, and Easy-To-Process Solution. It supports a Wide range of uses, from Food Processing Systems to General-Purpose Industrial Components, without Compromising performance or Manufacturability.

ULTEM™ MD147 Ultimately provides a Strong balance of Clarity, Process Efficiency, and Compliance-Driven Reliability. With its High-Flow Capability, Food Safety Certification, Chemical Resistance, and RoHS Compliance, ULTEM™ MD147 is well positioned to meet the Evolving Needs of Modern Manufacturing.
