 Ultem
1000 polythermide®
is an amorphous polymer offering high strength and excellent resistance
to flame and heat. Since Ultem 1000 performs continuously to 340°F
(170°C), it is ideal for high strength/high heat applications, and those
applications requiring consistent dielectric properties over a wide
frequency range. It is resistant to hydrolysis, highly resistant to
acidic solutions, and capable of withstanding repeated autoclaving
cycles.
