new cost effective injection moldable resin ge general eletric has launched new resin. it say, its new extem thermoplastic polyimide tpi resin line are a new family of amorphous polymers that give exceptional thermal, chemical, and mechanical performance in extreme environments and are said to be the first new engineering thermoplastic polymers in 20 years. at the same time they eliminate the drawbacks of semicrystalline materials and imidized thermosets, which until now have been the only ultrahighperformance plastics on the market, said ge.
