Filament Gehr ULTEM™ 9085

Filament Gehr ULTEM™ 9085

ULTEM™ 9085 is one of the most advanced polymers available on the market. Its features provide unparalleled resistance, thus the material is suitable for elements operating in the most difficult environment.

ULTEM™ 9085 is a well-known member of the high-performance polymers group. This material exhibits qualities suitable for application in the most demanding conditions. It offers excellent heat resistance, even at temperatures as high as 165-175 °C. Additionally, ULTEM™ 9085 also possesses good thermal conductivity, resistance to natural and synthetic solvents, and high dielectric strength. In contrast to many other non-crystalline thermoplastics, ULTEM™ 9085 demonstrates exceptional chemical resistance. It maintains its strength when exposed to automotive and aircraft fluids, alcohols, acids, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and weak aqueous solutions. Users value its impressive finishing, machinability characteristics, and low toxicity.

Are you looking for a non-flammable material for durable printouts? ULTEM™ 9085 is a flame retardant (UL94-V0), therefore, it can be used where the highest safety standards apply, e.g., the railway sector, automotive, or aerospace. Although ULTEM™ 9085 has slightly lower strength, creep resistance, and stability compared to PEEK, it is widely useful in the aerospace and railroad sectors.

Key benefits of ULTEM™ 9085

• flame resistance (UL94-V0), low toxicity, and low smoke emission,

• superb strength/weight ratio, thus it can be used to replace metal or aluminium for certain applications,

• top resistance to chemicals, heat, and high-energy radiation,

• a great balance of processability and mechanical properties,

• top tensile strength and dimensional stability.

Industrial applications of ULTEM™ 9085

The filament’s properties make ULTEM™ 9085 a perfect candidate for versatile professional applications. For example, automotive, aerospace, and railway companies use ULTEM™ 9085 because of its reduced weight, non-flammability, durability, and high resistance level. It is worth mentioning that ULTEM™ 9085 meets sectors’ safety standards, e.g., Aerospace: FAR25.853 and OSU55/55; or Railway: EN45545 R6-HL3. Such a high-performance polymer as ULTEM™ 9085 needs a high-performance industrial printer to obtain perfect printouts. It works well with our INDUSTRY F421.
