Duratron U1000 PEI is a high-performance polyetherimide (PEI) grade recognised for its excellent mechanical strength and heat resistance. With a tensile strength of 129 MPa and a continuous service temperature of 170°C, it maintains structural integrity in demanding thermal environments while also performing reliably at temperatures as low as -50°C.
This material exhibits a low coefficient of thermal expansion (50 x 10⁻⁶/°C), contributing to dimensional stability in precision components. Its medium chemical resistance makes it suitable for exposure to a range of industrial fluids. Dotmar supplies Duratron U1000 PEI as machinable rod and sheet stock, backed by technical expertise in engineering plastics for Australian industry.
