ULTEM™ PW2100 10% Glass Reinforced FDA Water Potable PEI Resin

ULTEM™ PW2100 is a 10% Glass Reinforced Polyetherimide (PEI) Resin engineered specifically for Potable Water Systems where Strength and Certification Compliance are Essential. The Addition of Glass Fiber enhances Stiffness and Long-Term Dimensional Stability, making it suitable for Load-Bearing components exposed to Continuous Water Contact. This Grade is offered in Transparent Amber as well as selected Opaque Colors to meet both Technical and Design Requirements.

Within the same performance family, ULTEM™ MD131A represents a Non-Reinforced Alternative designed for Food Contact applications, emphasizing Clarity, Chemical Resistance, and High-Flow Processing. While MD131A Serves Food-Related Environments, PW2100 is tailored toward Water Infrastructure where Hydrolytic Durability and Regulatory approvals are more critical.

ULTEM™ PW2100 meets a Wide range of International Potable Water Certifications, including NSF 61, WRAS, ACS, KTW-BWGL, and W270. These approvals confirm its suitability for use in Drinking Water Systems across Multiple Regulatory Regions. The material is developed for Direct and Prolonged exposure to Water while maintaining Safety and Structural Reliability.

Performance under Wet Conditions is a Defining Feature of this Resin. Its Hydrolytic Stability ensures that Mechanical Properties remain consistent even After Long-Term exposure to Moisture and varying Temperatures. This reliability makes it a preferred Option for components such as Valves, Fittings, Pump Housings, and Fluid Control Systems.

ULTEM™ PW2100 also Benefits from Inherent Flame Resistance Characteristic of PEI Materials and Achieves UL94 V-0 Classification across Thicknesses from 0.41 mm to 3.00 Mm. alongside its Thermal and Mechanical Resilience, it offers Dependable Chemical Resistance when exposed to Treatment Agents and Cleaning Processes. in Addition, ULTEM™ PW2100 is RoHS Compliant, supporting Global Environmental Directives.

From a Processing Perspective, the material maintains a standard Flow Behaviour, allowing for controlled Molding and consistent Production Output. The Presence of Glass Reinforcement does not Significantly Complicate Processing but instead provides added Structural confidence for engineered Parts requiring Stability under Stress.

ULTEM™ PW2100 Ultimately delivers a Strong combination of Reinforcement, Certification, and Durability for Potable Water applications. with its Hydrolytic Stability, Regulatory Approvals, Flame Resistance, and RoHS Compliance, ULTEM™ PW2100 remains a Dependable material Choice for manufacturers Building High-Performance Water System Components.
