Duratron™ PEI

Duratron™ Polyetherimide (PEI) is family of transparent amber high-performance polymers that combine high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures with long term heat resistance. PEI offers excellent dimensional stability combined with broad chemical resistance. Duratron™ PEI grades are commonly machined into parts for reusable medical devices, analytical instrumentation, electrical/electronic insulators (including many semiconductor process components) and a variety of structural components requiring high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures. Mitsubishi Chemical Group offers Duratron™ U1000 PEI and Duratron™ U2300 PEI as standard products.

Products in the Duratron™ PEI

Duratron™ U1000 PEI

Duratron™ U1000 are amorphous PEI shapes that exhibit high strength, dimensional stability and superior flame and heat resistance. Due to this grade's ability to perform continuously to 170°C, Duratron™ U1000 PEI is the ideal solution for applications that require consistent dielectric properties over a wide frequency range. Another strength of Duratron™ U1000 PEI shapes are their hydrolysis and chemical resistance, enabling them to withstand repeated autoclaving cycles in medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets.

    Material properties
  • High strength and dimensional stability
  • Superior flame and heat resistance
  • Consistent dielectric properties over wide frequency range
  • Hydrolysis and chemical resistance
  • Holds up to repeated autoclaving cycles
Duratron™ LSG PEI
The Duratron™ LSG PEI stock shapes are also pre-assessed for biocompatibility for up to 24 hours contact with body and tissue according to USP VI and ISO 10993. Some color variations are also pre-assessed for use in wetted contact applications in bioprocessing. Combining biocompatibility with peak performance, Duratron™ LSG PEI exhibits outstanding mechanical, thermal, electrical properties, as well as very good resistance to hydrolysis and chemicals. Duratron™ LSG PEI components are also sterilizable by means of steam (autoclave), dry heat, EtO (Ethylene Oxide), plasma and gamma and X-ray irradiation. Due to these properties, Duratron™ LSG PEI is an excellent candidate for applications in the medical and bioprocessing fields such as trial implants and radiotherapy applicators.
    Material properties
  • Pre-assessed on both resin and stock shapes for up to 24 hours contact with body or tissue according to USP Class VI and ISO 10993
  • Some color variations pre-assessed for wetted contact in bioprocessing
  • Excellent resistance to hydrolysis and chemicals
  • Excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties
Duratron™ U2200 PEI
Duratron™ U2200 PEI shapes are 20% glass-reinforced, giving them exceptional rigidity and dimensional stability, high temperature resistance and a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. With an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and increased tensile strength, this polyetherimide grade is also a great electrical insulator for semiconductor and electronics applications.

Duratron™ U2100 PEI
Duratron™ U2100 PEI shapes are 10% glass-reinforced, giving them greater rigidity and dimensional stability over Duratron™ U1000 PEI. Furthermore, the material shows a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. With an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and high tensile strength, this Polyetherimide grade is ideal for for semiconductor and electronics applications.
    Material properties
  • 10% glass-reinforced for added rigidity and dimensional stability
  • High strength
  • Excellent flame and heat resistance
Duratron™ U2300 PEI
Duratron™ U2300 PEI is a flame resistant polyetherimide that is 30% glass-reinforced, allowing this grade to exhibit the highest rigidity, strength, dimensional stability and heat resistance of all Duratron™ PEI shapes. Possessing the lowest coefficient of linear thermal expansion, superior strength-to-weight ratio and tensile strength, this grade is favored as a solution for reusable medical devices, analytical instruments, electrical insulators, semiconductor process components and structural components that require high strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures.
    Material properties
