ULTEM™ 9085 Resin
High-performance FDM PEI thermoplastic.
ULTEM™ 9085 filament is a high-performance thermoplastic with excellent physical and mechanical properties for high-demand and specialty applications using FDM technology. It is among the strongest of Stratasys FDM materials and its high-strength-to-weight ratio makes it well-suited for high-strength/low-weight applications. Additionally, ULTEM™ 9085 filament possesses high impact resistance and excellent chemical tolerance and meets multiple transportation industry standards for flame, smoke, and toxicity requirements.
ULTEM™ 9085 filament certified grade has the same characteristics but also has traceability documentation and meets more extensive and stringent test criteria. A Certificate of Analysis lets users track the filament back to the raw pellet stock. A Certificate of Conformance identifies compliance with approved Stratasys and industry standards. This makes ULTEM™ 9085 filament-certified grade highly suitable for industries that require a higher level of material traceability.
Besides the standard colors of Natural and Black, additional colors of ULTEM™ 9085 filament are available from the Stratasys Validated Material portfolio. Some of these colors match specialized industry and original equipment manufacturer design specifications. See the ULTEM™ 9085 resin material data sheet for specific material properties. These additional colors are listed below:
- Red
- Aircraft Gray
- Gunship Gray
- Dream Gray
- White 7362
- Jana White
