GE has announced the launch of Extem* thermoplastic polyimide (TPI) resin, a totally new amorphous polymer technology that offers new levels of performance in the most demanding end-use environments.
Extem resin has the ability to provide superior performance, while eliminating the drawbacks of semi-crystalline materials, imidized thermosets, and competitive amorphous thermoplastics. It delivers a powerful combination of melt processability and ultra-high thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties to meet industry demand for easy-to-produce parts that withstand ever-higher temperatures and harsh chemical environments, and yet remain stiff and dimensionally stable. The resin has inherent flame-retardant properties without the use of halogenated additives that can pose environmental risks, underscoring GE's commitment to environmental responsibility.
