Ultem 2300 is a 30% glass-fiber-reinforced grade of PEI that significantly improves stiffness, dimensional stability, and load-bearing capability compared to Ultem 1000. While slightly reducing impact strength, the reinforcement makes it ideal for high-stress industrial, aerospace, and automotive applications.
Introduction to Ultem 1000
What
Ultem 2300 is based on the same PEI resin as Ultem 1000 but reinforced with 30% glass fibers. This modification enhances flexural modulus, compressive strength, and resistance to creep, while maintaining the inherent high-temperature resistance and flame retardancy of PEI.
Advantages
Up to twice the stiffness of unfilled Ultem 1000 Excellent dimensional stability under load Retains thermal resistance and flame retardant properties Enhanced creep resistance and load-bearing strength Good electrical insulation even at high temperatures
Applications
Aerospace brackets and structural components Automotive under-hood parts and housings Industrial electrical enclosures and connectors Precision mechanical parts requiring stiffness and dimensional control
Ultem 2300 is reinforced with 30% glass fibers, giving it significantly higher stiffness and dimensional stability but slightly reduced impact strength compared to Ultem 1000.
