​PEI Raw Materials

PEI (Polyetherimide) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its excellent mechanical strength, dimensional stability, heat resistance, and flame-retardant properties.
The PEI Raw Material or PEI Resin offers superior thermal and electrical performance, making it a preferred choice for precision components in demanding environments.

As a top-grade PEI Plastic Material, it combines outstanding stiffness and toughness with the ability to maintain properties over a wide temperature range. Whether used for injection molding, extrusion, or machining, PEI Material delivers consistent and reliable performance.
