ULTEM™ STM1600 resin

About
Siltem 1600 is a flexible copolymer designed for wire and cable applications. It offers a halogen free (according VDE 0472) flame retardant solution that also offers low smoke emission and toxicity. It is an amber colored transparent material that can be selfcolored and easily processed on conventional equipment. The material may also have a fit in flexible profiles or injection molded parts.&&
