SABIC Innovative Plastics has launched the newest addition to its Extem UH family of amorphous thermoplastic polyimide (TPI) resins to meet customer requirements for design-friendly materials that deliver high performance at prolonged extreme temperatures. This unique new grade not only delivers unprecedented heat resistance, but also opens vast new design possibilities by providing exceptional dimensional stability for thin-wall molding. Extem UH resin underscores SABIC Innovative Plastics’ ongoing investment in high-end thermoplastic technologies and the company’s proactive efforts to track and address fast-evolving customer needs.
Using Extem UH resin, customers in the automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, electrical and chemical industries can achieve superior mechanical performance vs. polyetheretherketone (PEEK); greater system cost advantages vs. cross-linked polyamide imide (PAI); much improved design freedom vs. ceramics; and broader metal replacement opportunities in applications where no previous resins were available.
"Our new Extem UH resin grade clearly illustrates SABIC Innovative Plastics’ technology leadership and how we are delivering new breakthrough solutions to customers facing escalating continuous use temperature requirements for critical applications," said Peter Catsman, global product marketing leader, High Performance Products, SABIC Innovative Plastics. "Extem UH resin is a unique material that meets the key challenges of ultra-high-performance end products with excellent strength and stiffness for thin wall designs, lower weight than metals or thermosets, and cost-effective processing."
