About Polyetherimide (PEI)

PEI combines high strength and stiffness, tight dimensional stability, inherent flame retardance with low smoke, and repeat steam-sterilizability. It is the standard for aircraft interiors, high-heat electrical parts, and reusable medical components (non-implant).

Grades we source

  • Unfilled transparent grades
  • Glass-filled (10-40%)
  • Aircraft FST-compliant grades
  • Food-contact / reusable-ware grades
  • Machinable stock shapes

Common applications

  • Aircraft interior components
  • High-heat connectors and sockets
  • Sterilizable trays and instrument parts
  • Microwave and food-service ware
  • Metal replacement under the hood
