Recently, SABIC announced the launch of a new bio-based polyetherimide (PEI) resin combination that provides the same high performance and processability as traditional similar products and is sold under the same Ultem brand
.
It is understood that these new materials are the industry's first certified renewable high-performance amorphous polymers
.
Using a mass balance method, for every 100 kilograms of Ultem resin produced, SABIC replaces 25.
According to the ISO14040/14044 agreement, an internal assessment conducted in accordance with the general principles of life cycle analysis showed that SABIC's bio-based Ultem resin has the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of the material by 10% compared to the existing grade of fossil-based
.
SABIC Technology and Innovation Director Greg Stoddard said: "The bio-based raw materials used in the new Ultem material will not change performance characteristics, including long-term high temperature performance, chemical resistance, excellent mechanical and structural characteristics, dimensional and hydrolytic stability, Excellent processability and inherent flame retardancy
.
They can be considered as a comprehensive substitute for traditional Ultem resins or sulfone polymers (such as PSU, PESU and PPSU)
Bio-based Ultem resin is available globally, and regionally in Europe, Asia Pacific and North America
