Americhem Polyetherimide Compounds & Masterbatch

What is Polyetherimide?

Polyetherimide, or PEI, is a transparent and colorable polymer with high compressive and tensile strength. It has excellent creep resistance and property retention at high temperatures. Americhem can custom compound biocompatible grades of PEI.

The Americhem Advantage in Polyetherimide

Americhem has extensive experience compounding PEI with thermally stable pigments to achieve a broad color pallet. Americhem also compounds PEI with fillers and reinforcements for achieving effects such as: improved wear resistance, lower friction, improved tensile & flex modulus, electrical conductivity, and electrostatic discharge protection – all with smaller minimum order quantities than most of the industry.
