PEI 1010

PEI-1010 3D Filament, Made using ULTEM™ 1010 PEI
We manufacture this ultra-performance 3D printing filament using ULTEM™ 1010 PEI (polyether imide) resin.  PEI is an amorphous, high-performance polymer that combines excellent thermal properties, exceptional dimensional stability, inherent flame retardancy, and good chemical resistance.  Filaments made using ULTEM™ 1010 resin offers the ability to create parts with excellent properties at elevated temperatures due to a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 217°C.

Product attributes include:
• High thermal properties: (Tg) of 217°C
• Inherent flame resistance
• Long-term hydrolytic stability
• Excellent dimensional stability (low creep sensitivity and low, uniform coefficient of thermal expansion) and highly reproducible part-to-part dimensions
• Exceptional strength and modulus, even at elevated temperatures
• Good resistance to a broad range of chemicals, such as automotive fluids, fully halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, and aqueous solutions
• Stable dielectric constant and dissipation factor over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies

Automotive / Transportation Applications:  ULTEM™ resins provide automotive manufacturers with a high-performance, chemically resistant, thermally-stable, cost-effective alternative to metal that is strong enough to replace steel in some applications and light enough to replace aluminum in others. For applications like transmission components, throttle bodies, ignition components, sensors, and thermostat housings,

Electrical / Electronics Applications:  ULTEM™ resin may be an excellent material choice for today’s demanding electrical applications, including connectors, MCB components like housings, shafts and levers, hard disk drive internals, FOUPs, BiTS, PCBs, MCCB internals, Plenum devices, LCD projector internals, fuel cell components, and many other applications.

Filament Specifications:
• Diameter:  1.75mm (+/- 0.05mm)
• Colors:  Natural and Black

Recommended Print Conditions:

• Extruder Temp: 370 – 390°C
• Bed Temp: 160-200°C
• Bed Prep: Rough Borosilicate Glass with PVP gluestick, or high temp carbon fiber sheet plus PVP glue stick, we also recommend the Vision Miner Nano Polymer
• Print Speed:  Print speeds of 20-30mm/s (starting point), faster as results dictate
• Enclosure Temp:  90-200°C (Bigger the part higher chamber temps are required)
• Drying Instructions:  Please dry at @110-120°C for 12-24 hours, for the first dry its recommended to dry for at least 24 hours before using, the drying time can be lowered using a vacuum oven, and also storing the filament in a degassing chamber when not in use.
