Ultem a Multi Quality Material

Ultem is a polyethermide. It is a kind of plastic that is mainly used for electronic products due to some of its properties. it also has its applications in medical materials. It also has some other applications like it works as an insulator, clamps etc. Ultem is a resin that absorbs heat. It is found in different ways like as an opaque or as transparent. It can with stand high heat and is chemically resistant so can be used as an insulator. It is also flexible and has high dielectric force. It can be used for steam sterilization.

It does not react easily so can be used with food. It produces lesser smoke at the time of burning. It is also not affected by the radiations like x rays. Due to all its properties it can be used in the materials that require high strength and high heat resistance. It also has one more quality that it withstands autoclaving. The heat resistance of ultem is more than other products like nylon. This product can be used in chemical laboratories as it has high chemical resistance. It also has a property of high hydrolysis stability so can be used in electrical materials.
