PEI powder-coated build plate on a Bambu Lab A1 mini FFF 3D printer

Polyetherimide (PEI; branded as Ultem[2]) is an amorphous, amber-to-transparent thermoplastic with characteristics similar to the related plastic PEEK. When comparing PEI to PEEK, the former is cheaper but has lower impact strength and a tighter temperature range.[3]

PEI plastics were first introduced into the market by General Electric (GE) in 1982 under the trade name Ultem resulting from the work of J.G. Wirth's research team in the early 1970s.[4][5]

Due to its adhesive properties and chemical stability it became a popular bed material for FFF 3D printers.

Structure

The molecular formula of the PEI repeating unit is Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.C37H24O6N2 and the molecular weight is 592.61 g/mol.[6] It contains phthalimide and bisphenol A sub-units.

Properties

The glass transition temperature of PEI is 217 °C (422 °F). Its amorphous density at 25 °C is 1.27 g/cm3(.046 lb/in3). It is prone to stress cracking in chlorinated solvents. Polyetherimide is able to resist high temperatures while maintaining stable electrical properties over a wide range of frequencies. This high strength material offers excellent chemical resistance and ductile properties suitable for various applications, even those involving steam exposure.[7]

Production

PEIs are manufactured by the imidization reaction of a flexible dianhydride and m-Phenylenediamine.[8][9]
