SABIC’s Ultem* PEI Low moisture absorption foam offers major weight-out, performance & cost benefits vs. PMI for aerospace applications

SABIC’s Ultem* PEI Low Moisture Absorption Foam>BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – October 27, 2011 – SABIC’s Innovative Plastics strategic business unit is presenting the low moisture absorption of Ultem* polyetherimide (PEI) foam for composite aircraft structures. Ultem resin’s low-moisture absorption is critical in that it helps address two major aircraft OEM challenges: reducing weight for fuel conservation and emissions reduction, and lowering systems costs while delivering equal or better performance than traditional materials. Low moisture absorption combined with the proven flame-smoke-toxicity (FST), dielectric, acoustic and thermal performance of Ultem foam underscores the pioneering work of SABIC in engineering superior, world-renowned thermoplastic solutions for the aircraft industry.
