EXTEM™ Resin portfolio of amorphous thermoplastic polyimide (TPI) and polyetherimide (PEI) resins offers a powerful combination of outstanding elevated thermal resistance up to 280°C Tg, high strength, stiffness, and creep performance up to 230°C, broad chemical resistance including chlorinated solvents and eliminates the draw-backs of semi-crystalline materials, imidized thermosets, and competitive amorphous thermoplastics which can require post-molding curing or crystallization. In addition, EXTEM™ resin is inherently flame-retardant without the use of halogenated additives that can pose an environmental risk.
EXTEM™ is available in transparent and opaque custom colors, as well as glass filled grades. In the near future, EXTEM™ with additional fillers will be available through SABIC LNP™ Compounds to provide wear resistance performance, electrostatic dissipative properties, enhanced dimensional stability, and more. EXTEM™ resin portfolio is extremely versatile allowing SABIC to design products that can offer design engineers exceptional flexibility and freedom.
