Description

A high-temperature, thermoplastic polymer. Introduced in 1982, polyether-imide (PEI) is transparent, tough and retains its properties to about 170C. It has good resistance to UV and gamma radiation. PEI is used as a reinforcing fiber and as a fire-resistant component in electrical boards, jet engines, and automobiles.

Synonyms and Related Terms

polyetherimide (AAT); PEI; Ultem [General Electric Co.]

Physical and Chemical Properties

  • Resistant to aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, and dilute bases.
