SABIC expands ULTEM™ portfolio with colorable, high-flow, reinforced grades for connectors and other thin-wall components
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today announced the expansion of its high-heat ULTEM™ resin portfolio with new glass fiber-reinforced grades that deliver high flow, custom colorability and high strength, and are well suited for thin-wall components like fiber optic and electrical connectors. New low-viscosity ULTEM 2120, 2220 and 2320 resins exhibit exceptional flow characteristics that empower designers to create miniaturized, high-precision components with complex geometries. For molders, the high flow capabilities of these materials offer the flexibility to lower injection pressures or mold thinner walls at the same pressure, while avoiding short shots. In contrast to other high-flow glass-reinforced ULTEM materials, these new grades maintain the existing color range of existing ULTEM 2X10/2X00 resins and can be custom colored for connector identification and product branding. Furthermore, compared to competitive polysulfones, the ULTEM 2X20 grades can produce more-durable and -reliable parts, thanks to their higher mechanical strength.
