Products in Optical Fiber & Telecom: Unreinforced

TROGAMID® myCX eCO is a microcrystalline transparent polyamide used for manufacturing parts in the optical industry, such as lenses, using the injection molding process. It is produced using production technology that maximizes the potential for CO2 emission savings of up to 50%.

VESTODUR® 3030 is a high-viscosity polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin that is specially formulated for extrusion applications. It provides outstanding resistance to hydrolysis and heat. This compound is particularly suitable for the production of rigid, small-diameter tubing, including loose fiber optic buffer tubes. It is also compatible with film extrusion processes.

SABIC's Specialties Business ULTEM™ Resin 1010 is an unreinforced amorphous polyetherimide (PEI) resin that offers a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 217°C and improved flow. Its features include excellent mechanical, electrical, and dimensional properties up to high temperatures. The material also offers very good chemical resistance for an amorphous material and is inherently flame retardant, offering UL94 V0 and 5V ratings as well as aerospace FAR 25.853 compliance. ULTEM™ Resin 1010 is RoHS compliant, and the natural, uncolored material is halogen-free according to standards IEC 61249-2-21, IPC 4101E, and JEDEC JS709B. Compliance for colored variants needs to be checked on a case-by-case basis. The base material is transparent amber-colored but is also available in custom colors, both transparent and opaque. This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during SHPP’s manufacturing process and are not expected to contain unintentional PFAS impurities. Each user is responsible for evaluating the presence of unintentional PFAS impurities.
