Attention is also drawn to the ability to handle complex lens shapes and high productivity.
The EXTEM XH series developed by SABIC has been increasingly used in optical communication transceiver lenses and optical sensor receiving lenses, which are gaining attention in recent years for applications such as 5G. For the same applications, the company's ULTEM RESIN products (such as ULTEM 1010 and ULTEM DT1810EV) have been widely adopted by many customers and components around the world, but they were not compatible with lead-free soldering processes. This material, which is compatible with that process, is attracting attention for its ability to accommodate complex lens shapes and its high productivity compared to glass and thermosetting resin lenses. Additionally, it has gained recognition as a high-heat-resistant optical thermoplastic resin that was first registered in the Zemax OpticsStudio material database in March 2019, providing designers of optical sensors and lenses with a new groundbreaking material option beyond glass and epoxy resins. [Application Examples] Adopted for infrared sensor lenses used in proximity sensors and gesture recognition in electronic products such as smartphones and gaming consoles.

basic information
EXTEM RESIN (XH Series) is an amorphous thermoplastic polyimide resin that is capable of injection molding, featuring ultra-high heat resistance (Tg: 267°C) and transparency. It appears transparent brown in the visible light range but boasts a transmittance of 75% to a maximum of 85% in the near-infrared light range (NIR). Additionally, it has a high optical refractive index of 1.643 at a light wavelength of 850 nm, making it one of the highest-performing materials among thermoplastic transparent resins.
