ULTEM is a High performance thermoplastic, also known as PEI, or polyetherimide, and is usually transparent amber in colour. Due to its excellent strength and heat resistance, it is popular among Aerospace, Automotive and Medical industries.
At IPF Ultem would be put through an annealing process to remove any internal stresses, and reduce the risk of surface crazing. We then CNC machine to your specification using our high-speed 3 & 5 axis Milling machines, ideal for cutting reinforced materials.
