1 THERM0PLASTIC ELASTOMERS STRUCTURAL WEAR CONDUCTIVE COLOR FLAME RETARDANT Alternatives to PEI and PEI Compounds Matt Torosian Product Manager, High Temperature Materials Steve Maki Vice President of Technology

2 Overview PEI Ultem and the current market status Product offerings with similar properties to PEI: Amorphous morphology Temperature performance Physical properties Chemical resistance Low flame, smoke, toxicity and heat generation Color and other considerations RTP Company products Case studies Ultem is a Registered Trademark of Sabic Global Technologies

3 Why Alternatives Are Needed Sabic (Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation) is the only producer of PEI polymer globally The supply chain has historically been insecure for extended periods The market is currently in short supply Current lead times are very long (several months) Supply cannot meet demand (on sales control )

4 Why Alternatives Are Needed There are several alternative resin systems which offer a more diverse and secure supply chain None of these materials are exact one-to-one replacements for PEI Requires identification of the critical properties for an application Typically, equal or improved performance for a given property can be achieved, often through compounding

5 Poll Question What properties does your PEI application require? (click all that apply) Stringent physical performance High-temperature Flame Retardant (V-0) Chemical resistance Low Smoke & Heat Colored/transparent

6 Why PEI PEI (Polyetherimide) N O C C O O CH 3 C CH 3 O O C C O N n Unique set of properties: Amorphous morphology Temperature performance Physical properties Chemical resistance Low flame, smoke, toxicity and heat generation

7 Amorphous (PEI) Clear Low-shrink Dimensionally stable High Temp: PES, PSU, PPSU, PEI, alloys Morphology Semi-crystalline Defined melting temp Less predictable shrink Good Chemical Resistance High Temp: PEEK, PPS and PPA If a transparent product is required, an unfilled amorphous option is needed. Tooling, fillers and part design will determine if a semi-crystalline material is an option.

8 264 psi Unfilled 30 glass Amorphous PEI 392 F 405 F PPSU PES PSU Semicrystalline PPS N/A 510 PPA PEEK Temperature HDT can be improved through compounding fillers. Also need to understand peak and continuous temperatures to select the right product.

9 Physical Properties Most physical properties can be altered by compounding fillers, additives and alloys. Need to consider physical performance at use temperature.

10 Chemical Resistance PEI has good chemical resistance for an amorphous resin Semi-crystalline generally offers improvement Need to consider: Chemical type and concentration Frequency of contact Duration of contact Temperature during contact

11 Chemical Resistance Amorphous Semi-crystalline PEI PSUL PES PPSU PEEK PPS PPA Weak Acids E E E E E E E Strong Acids E E P E E E G Weak Alkalis E E E E E E E Strong Alkalis P E E E E E G Organic Solvents P 2 G P 1 P E G E Alcohols F G F F E E G Hydrocarbons P P P F E E E Fuels F P F G G G G Gamma Radiation G G G G G G G UV Radiation F F F F G G F Ratings: E = Excellent G = Good F = Fair P = Poor (1) Soluble in aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbon (2) Soluble in ketones and esters, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons

12 Flame, Smoke, and Heat PEI attributes Flame Rating Inherently UL94 V-0 Performance Replacement options (Full UL Certification) Inherently V-0 PES, PPSU, PEEK, PPS Flame Retardant Modified V-0 PSU, PPA, PA, PC, PBT, PP Also need to consider Additional UL ratings (CTI, RTI, etc.) Halogen vs. Halogen Free

13 Flame, Smoke, and Heat PEI Attributes Smoke and Heat Low Smoke Production/Toxicity Meets Aerospace and Mass Transit specifications Low Heat Release FAR OSU ratings PEI Replacements Low Smoke/Toxicity PES; PPSU; FR PA, PC and PP Low Heat Release PES, PEEK, PPSU, PPS Specialty FR PA, PC and PP for certain heat requirements Product recommendation will depend on end product specification requirements. RTP Co. has unique options for smoke and heat in lower temp resins.

14 Color Options YOUR GLOBAL COMPOUNDER PRECOLOR OF CUSTOM MASTERBATCHES ENGINEERED THERMOPLASTICS CUBE BLENDS PEI, in its natural state, is transparent amber in color Most amorphous options can be transparent and colorable Most semi-crystalline options are colorable, but have limitations due to base resin color and high processing temperatures RTP Company offers custom colors matches (including to PEI amber)

15 Natural, Amorphous Resin Colors YOUR GLOBAL COMPOUNDER PRECOLOR OF CUSTOM MASTERBATCHES ENGINEERED THERMOPLASTICS CUBE BLENDS Comparison of Amorphous base resin colors Ultem RTP 1400 P PPSU RTP 1400 N PES RTP 900 PSUL

16 Application Successes Medical Device Housing Application requirements: - Colorable - Dimensional stability - High temperature resistance - Repeated autoclave-ability RTP 900 Series (Polysulfone Base) - Wide processing window - Translucent - Excellent aesthetics

17 Printer Frame Currently produced with RTP 2100 Series with Carbon Fiber and PTFE Application Requirements - Stiffness above 1 MM psi flex mod - Dimensional stability - High temperature resistance - Conductivity /static dissipative - Good wear resistance Possible Alternatives Amorphous - RTP 1400 N Series Standard flow PES with Carbon Fiber and PTFE Semi-crystalline - RTP 1300 Series with Carbon Fiber and PTFE Application Examples

18 Summary Sulfone based products can perform as good or better than PEI in many applications Compounds based on semi-crystalline resin systems can outperform PEI in specific applications Functional fillers, reinforcements and wear additives can enhance performance

19 RTP Co. Can Help RTP Company can provide R&D, CAE and on-site technical service support to help select and produce parts Talk to your RTP Company materials experts to ensure that your choice in materials meet your specific application requirements

20 RTP Co. Options Download our bulletin for example products, or contact RTP Company engineers for a custom recommendation.

21 Poll Question How long will it take to qualify a PEI replacement in your application? <45 days 45 days 90 days <6 months I don t plan on replacing PEI
