PEI-GF30 is used in applications that require a robust, inherently flame-retardant and chemically resistant material that offers superior strength and stiffness compared to unfilled PEI, while retaining excellent thermal stability and electrical insulation—even under continuous use at temperatures up to 180 degC. It is used in electrical applications (connectors, terminal blocks, coil bobbins, device housings, and insulators), aerospace and automotive (structural components, housings, and covers that must withstand high static loads, mechanical stress, and thermal cycling), medical (reusable medical instruments, sterilisation trays, and components exposed to repeated autoclaving) and industrial components.
