Tech Brief  > PEI

 
Polyetherimide ( PEI )

Background
Polyetherimide ( PEI ) is an amorphous, transparent and amber high performance thermoplastic with the characteristics common to this group - see polyetheretherketone ( PEEK ). Relative to PEEK it is less temperature resistant, less expensive and lower in impact strength. It is prone to stress cracking in chlorinated solvents.

Applications include electrical switchgear, connectors and other components, microwaveable cookware and "under-bonnet" components.
