Material Description
Ultem® is a brand name for polyetherimide (PEI). It is an amber, transparent high-performance polymer which combines high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures with long term heat resistance. Ultem® offers excellent dimensional stability combined with broad chemical resistance and is inherently flame-resistant and generates a low amount of smoke. These qualities make Ultem® machined parts a reliable solution for engineers in demanding environments where precision, durability, and consistent performance matter most. For example, Ultem® excels in medical reusable applications requiring repeated sterilization and is available in FDA compliant colors.
We have built our custom Ultem® CNC machining service to support engineers who need complex geometries, tight tolerances, and dependable quality. With extensive experience in Ultem® CNC parts machining, we produce components that meet the functional demands of highly technical industries while maintaining excellent repeatability and finish quality. No matter which industry or applications you’re planning custom Ultem® machined parts for, trust Plastic Machining Inc. as your go-to source for high-quality parts.
