PEI Ultem 9085 filament
The search for an Ultem 3D printing filament usually leads to two types available in the market, PEI Ultem 1010 (respectively 1000) and 9085. TECAFIL PEI 9085 natural is based on one of those, which is Sabic UltemTM 9085 resin and is an unfilled PEI filament (Polyetherimide).
Ultem 9085 filament is an amorphous high-performance polymer with beneficial properties for applications. This Ultem 3D printer filament allows you to print models that resist high temperatures and high load impacts. TECAFIL PEI 9085 natural is inherent flame retardant and causes low smoke emission (performs UL94-V0). The combination of these FST (Flame, Smoke and Toxicity) safety standards with outstanding mechanical properties regarding rigidity, high dimensional stability and high creep resistance over a wide temperature range makes PEI a frequently used material in the transportation and aerospace sector as well as automotive. Whereas industries like electronic and semiconductor use 3D print Ultem filaments very often due to its good electrical insulation properties. Thanks to its good radiation and chemical resistance PEI 3D printing is also requested for medical applications.
These characteristics make 3D printed PEI filament compatible for functional parts, highly functional prototypes and production tools. Applications printed with Ultem filament have a permanent temperature resistance of up to 170 °C.
UltemTM is a registered trademark of the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC).
