Polyetherimide
thermoplastic molding equipment. Melt temperatures of 660 to 800 F are typical for injection-molding applications. Mold temperatures of 150 to 350 F are required. Polyetherimide is extruded to produce profiles, coated wire, sheet, and film. Film thicknesses as low as 0.25 mil are obtained by solvent-casting...

Thermoplastic Composites
of thermoplastics, including nylon 6/6, polysulfone, polyester, polyphenylene sulfide, polyetherimide, polyetheretherketone, and ETFE and PFA fluorocarbons. The carbon-fiber-reinforced materials, at two to four times the cost of comparable glass-reinforced thermoplastics, offer the ultimate in tensile...
