Ultem 9085 Resin is a flame-retardant, high-performance thermoplastic, suited for digital manufacturing and rapid prototyping. It offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and has an FST (Flame, Smoke, and Toxicity) rating, making it well-suited for use in the transportation industry.

Our company specializes in producing top-performing 3D printing filament using Sabic's ULTEM 9085 PEI (polyether imide) resin. The utilization of ULTEM 9085 resin in the filament manufacturing process allows for the creation of parts with remarkable properties, even at high temperatures, due to its high glass transition temperature of 186°C.

PEI, an amorphous, high-performance polymer, boasts exceptional thermal properties, dimensional stability, natural flame retardancy, and excellent chemical resistance.
