Ultem PEI 4000-1100 / 4000-7402 | Glass, PTFE & Graphite Filled PEI Resin

Original price was: $36.00.Current price is: $18.00.

Ultem PEI 4000-1100 is a glass fiber, PTFE, and graphite filled polyetherimide (PEI) resin engineered for superior wear resistance and low friction. It combines the high thermal and mechanical properties of PEI with excellent sliding performance, making it ideal for bearings, bushings, seals, and other moving parts. Inherently flame retardant (UL94 V0) and dimensionally stable.

Core Property Value
Material Type Glass + PTFE + Graphite Filled PEI
Color Natural / Black
Tensile Strength 82 MPa (ASTM D638)
Flexural Modulus 8820 MPa (ASTM D790)
HDT (1.82 MPa, 6.4 mm) 212 °C
Coefficient of Friction (Kinetic) 0.24
Flammability UL94 V0 (0.84 mm)
Tg 217 °C

Full Description (with detailed technical data table)

Overview
Ultem PEI 4000-1100 (SABIC Ultem 4000) is a specially compounded polyetherimide resin containing glass fiber for strength, PTFE for lubricity, and graphite for wear resistance. This unique combination delivers outstanding tribological performance while retaining the inherent flame retardancy, high heat deflection temperature (212°C), and dimensional stability of PEI. The material is ideal for metal replacement in moving or sliding applications where lubrication is difficult or undesirable. It is RoHS compliant and available in natural (4000-1100) and black (4000-7402).

Applications

  • Non‑lubricated bearings and bushings

  • Wear rings and thrust washers

  • Pump and compressor components

  • Gear and cam followers

  • Automotive transmission components

  • Industrial slides and guides
